Caruso (original)Caruso (translation)
Qui dove il mare luccicaHere, where the sea casts diamond sparks,
E tira forte il ventoAnd the wind, a herald, tugs with ancient force,
Su una vecchia terrazzaUpon a terrace weathered by the years,
Davanti al golfo di SurrientoFacing the crescent of Surriento’s gulf,
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazzaA man enfolds a girl in his embrace,
Dopo che aveva piantoAfter her tears have fallen like late rain,
Poi si schiarisce la voceHe gathers his voice, a slow clearing of dusk,
E ricomincia il cantoAnd his song, reborn, resumes its wandering flight.
Te voglio bene assaieHow boundless is the love I bear for you,
Ma tanto tanto bene saiSo vast, you know, so fiercely vast and true,
È una catena ormaiA chain it is, invisible, unbending now,
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene saiThat melts the blood in veins with molten fire, you know,
Vide le luci in mezzo al mareHe saw far-off the lanterns on the sea,
Pensò alle notti là in AmericaAnd mused on nights adrift in distant America,
Ma erano solo le lampareBut these were only net-lamps drifting on the tide,
E la bianca scia di un' elicaAnd the white wound traced by a propeller’s blade,
Sentì il dolore nella musicaHe felt the wound of music twist within,
Si alzò dal pianoforteRose from the piano like a ghost made flesh,
Ma quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvolaBut when the moon slipped free from a shroud of cloud,
Gli sembrò dolce anche la morteEven death, it seemed to him, grew sweet as honeyed fruit,
Guardò negli occhi la ragazzaHe looked into the girl’s green, tidal eyes,
Quegli occhi verdi come il mareThose eyes—sea-green, brimming with unruly salt,
Poi all’improvviso uscì una lacrimaThen all at once a tear spilled forth, unbidden,
E lui credette di affogareAnd he believed himself lost, drowning in its salt,
Te voglio bene assaieHow boundless is the love I bear for you,
Ma tanto tanto bene saiSo vast, you know, so fiercely vast and true,
È una catena ormaiA chain it is, invisible, unbending now,
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene saiThat melts the blood in veins with molten fire, you know,
Potenza della liricaSuch is the sorcery of lyric’s art,
Dove ogni dramma è un falsoWhere every grief wears the mask of theater,
Che con un po' di trucco e con la mimicaWith powder and a borrowed gesture’s play,
Puoi diventare un altroYou slip your skin, become some other soul,
Ma due occhi che ti guardanoBut two eyes that gaze so close, so true,
Così vicini e veriBreak through the ruse, dissolve each counterfeit,
Ti fan scordare le paroleThey bid you let all words go to the wind,
Confondono i pensieriAnd cloud your every thought in their eclipse,
Così diventa tutto piccoloSo, suddenly, the whole world shrinks to silence,
Anche le notti là in AmericaEven the vast nights once lived in America,
Ti volti e vedi la tua vitaYou turn, and see your life—
Come la scia di un’elicaA wake unfurling behind a vanishing hull,
Ma sì, è la vita che finisceYes, life’s current drags toward its end,
Ma lui non ci pensò poi tantoBut he, scarcely thinking, left it to the tide,
Anzi si sentiva già feliceIndeed, he tasted happiness already, sudden,
E ricominciò il suo cantoAnd let his song begin anew,
Te voglio bene assaieHow boundless is the love I bear for you,
Ma tanto tanto bene saiSo vast, you know, so fiercely vast and true,
È una catena ormaiA chain it is, invisible, unbending now,
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene saiThat melts the blood in veins with molten fire, you know,
Te voglio bene assaieHow boundless is the love I bear for you,
Ma tanto tanto bene saiSo vast, you know, so fiercely vast and true,
È una catena ormaiA chain it is, invisible, unbending now,
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e veneThat melts the blood in veins with molten fire,
Dint’e veneWithin the veins,
Dint’e veneWithin the veins
