Caruso [English translation]

Here where the sea sparkles,

And the wind howls,

On an old terrace

Before the Gulf of Sorriento,

A man holds a girl in his arms

After she's been crying

He clears his voice

And begins to sing again.

I love you so much

So very, very much, you know

It's a bond, now,

That thaws the blood inside the veins, you know.

He looked at the lights, out on the sea,

And thought about the nights there, in America

But they were only the fishermen lamps and the white trail of a propeller

He looked the girl in the eyes

Those eyes green as the sea

Then, suddenly, a tear fell

And he thought he was going to drown

I love you so much

So very, very much, you know

It's a bond, now,

That thaws the blood inside the veins, you know.

The power of opera, where drama is a fake

And where with a bit of make-up and the art of mimic, you can

Become someone else.
