Lyrics of Dalla: Caruso - Caruso - Luciano Pavarotti

Dalla: Caruso - Caruso (original)

Qui dove il mare luccica
E tira forte il vento
Sulla vecchia terrazza
Davanti al golfo di Surriento
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
Dopo che aveva pianto
Poi si schiarisce la voce
E ricomincia il canto
Te vojo bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
E’una catena ormai
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene sai
Vide le luci in mezzo al mare
Penso alle notti la in America
Ma erano solo le lampare
E la bianca scia di un’elica
Senti il dolore nella musica
E si alzo dal pianoforte
Ma quando vide uscire
La luna da una nuvola
Gli sembro piu dolce anche la morte
Guardo negli occhi la ragazza
Quegli occhi verdi come il mare
Poi all’improvviso usci una lacrima
E lui credette di affogare
Potenza della lirica
Dove ogni dramma e un falso
Che con un po’di trucco e con la mimica
Puoi diventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti quardano
Cosi vicini e veri
Ti fan scordare le parole
Confondono i pensierei
Cos diventa tutto piccolo
Anche le notti la in America
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita
Dietro la scia di un’elica
Ma si, e la vita che finisce
E non ce penso poi tanto
Anzi, si sentiva gia felice
E ricomincio il suo canto
Te vojo bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
E una catena ormai
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene sai
Translation:
Here, where the sea shines
And the wind howls
On the old terrace
Beside the gulf of Sorrento
A man embraces a girl
After the tears
Then clears his throat
And continues the song:
I love you very much
Very, very much you know
It is a chain by now
That heats the blood inside the veins
You know
He saw the lights out on the sea
Thought of the nights there in America
But they were only the fisherman’s lamps
And the white wash astern
He felt the pain in the music
And stood up from the piano
But when he saw the moon
Emerging from a cloud
Death also seemed sweeter to him
He looked the girl in the eyes
Those eyes as green as the sea
Then suddenly a tear fell
And he believed he was drowning
I love you very much
Very, very much, you know
It is a chain by now
That heats the blood inside the veins
You know
The power of opera
Where every drama is a hoax
With a little make-up and with mine
You can become someone else
But two eyes that look at you
So close and real
Make you forget the words
Confuse your thoughts
So everything becomes small
Also the nights there in America
You turn and see your life
Through the white wash astern
But, yes, it is life that ends
And he did not think much about it On the contrary, he already felt happy
And continued his song
I love you very much
Very, very much, you know
It is a chain by now
That heats the blood inside the veins
You know

(translation)

Here where the sea shines
And the wind blows strong
On the old terrace
In front of the Gulf of Surriento
A man hugs a girl
After she had cried
Then he clears his throat
And the singing begins again
I want you very well
But so very well you know
It is a chain now
That melts the blood inside the veins, you know
He saw the lights in the middle of the sea
I think of the nights there in America
But it was only the lamps
And the white trail of a propeller
Feel the pain in the music
And he got up from the piano
But when she saw it go out
The moon from a cloud
Even death seems sweeter to him
I look the girl in the eye
Those green eyes like the sea
Then suddenly a tear came out
And he thought he was drowning
Power of opera
Where every drama is a fake
What with a little makeup and facial expressions
You can become another
But two eyes that look at you
So close and true
They make you forget the words
They confuse the thinkers
So everything becomes small
Even the nights there in America
You turn around and see your life
Behind the wake of a propeller
But yes, and life ends
And I don't think so much about it
Indeed, she already felt happy
And I start his song again
I want you very well
But so very well you know
And a chain now
That melts the blood inside the veins, you know
