Caruso [English translation]

Here were the sea is gleaming,

and the wind’s blasting away,

on a terrace old ‘n’ beaming,

in front of Sorrento’s bay,

A man’s hugging a girl he wants to rejoice

after her tears were flinging

then he is clearing his voice

and he recommences singing

I love you very much so

yet all so very much you know

it’s a chain since long ago

that’s tying our blood in the veins you know

He looked at the lights out in the sea

like all nights in America so stellar

but they could only fishing lamps be

and the white wake from a propeller

He felt the pain in the music weighing

and he left the grand piano deepened

but when he saw the moon behind a cloud displaying

even death seemed to him more sweetened

He looked deep inside the girl’s eyes

these green eyes like the sea astounding

and all of a sudden he felt a tear arise

and he thought that he was drowning

I love you very much so

yet all so very much you know

it’s a chain since long ago

that’s tying our blood in the veins you know

How powerful the lyrics are

where every drama is artful

that a little makeup and mimics are

turning you to some oth'r fool

But a pair of eyes staring you

so very close and truthful

they make your words failing you

and your broken thoughts unuseful

Like this everything seems minor

e'en those nights in America, the stellar

you turn and see your life no more

than a white wake from a propeller

But yes, it is the life that’s ending

but didn't give it a second thinking

on the contrary it felt contenting

and he recommences singing

I love you very much so

yet all so very much you know

it’s a chain since long ago

that’s tying our blood in the veins you know

I love you very much so

yet all so very much you know

it’s a chain since long ago

that’s tying our blood in the veins you know
