I just found out the translations for Caruso.I think it's quite a famous song,seems like it's compulsory for all opera singers to sing this song...(Josh Groban,Andrea Bocelli,Lara Fabian,Luciano Pavarotti)but the lyrics are nice




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 contines 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 fishermen's lamps
and the white wash astern.
He felt the pain in the music
and stood up from the p iano,
but when he saw the moon
emergin 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 mime
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...

Qui dove il mare luccica,
E tira forte vento
Sulla vecchia terazza
Davanti al golfo di surriento
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
Dopo che aveva pianto
Poi si sciarisce la voce
E ricomincia il canto

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
?una cantena ormai
Che sciogliei sangue dint'e vene sai...

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare

> Pens?alle notti l?in merica
Ma erano solo le lampare
E la bianca scia di un'elica
Sent?il dolore nella musica
E si alz?dal pianoforte
Ma quando vide uscire
La luna da una nuvola
Gli sembro pi?dolce anche la morte
Guard?negli occhi la ragazza
Quegli occhi verdi come il mare
Poi all'improvisso usci una lacrima
E lui credette di affogare

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
?una cantena ormai
Che sciogliei sangue dint'e vene sai...

Potenza della lirica
Dove ogni dramma ?un falso
Che con un po'di trucco e con la mimica
Puoi diventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti guardano
Cos?vicini e veri
Ti fan scordare le parole
Confondono i pensieri
Cos?diventa tutto piccolo
Anche le notti l?in merica
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita
Dietro la scia di un'elica
Ma s? ?la vita che finisce
E non ci penso poi tanto
Anzi si sentiva gi?felice
E ricomincio il suo canto

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
?una cantena ormai
Che sciogliei sangue dint'e vene sai...
