Caruso [English translation]

Here, where the sea shines and the wind blows

on an old terrace on the Sorrent gulf

a man hugs a girl, after she had cried

then he clears his voice and begins again to sing.

I love you very much

very very much, you know

it's become a chain

that melts the blood inside the veins, you know

He saw the lights in the middle of the sea and thought about the nights there, in America

but they were just the boats (with lights, used to fish during the night) and the white trail of a propeller

He felt pain in the music and got up from the piano

but when he saw the moon coming out from behind a cloud

even death seemed sweet to him

he looked in the eyes of the girl, those eyes green as the sea

then suddenly a tear slipped out and he thought he was going to drown.

I love you very much

very very much, you know

it's become a chain

the melts the blood inside the veins, you know

Power of lyric, where every drama is fake

and with a bit of make-up and mimic you can become another person

but two eyes, so close and so truthful, looking at you

make you forget the words and confuse your thoughts

so everything becomes small, even the nights there, in America

you turn around and you see your life as a propeller's trail

Yeah, it's life that ends, but he didn't think too much about it

on the opposite, he felt (already) happy and began again to sing

I love you very much

very very much, you know

it's become a chain

that melts the blood inside the veins, you know
