Caruso - Doro

Qui dove il mare luccica

E tira forte il vento

Su una 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 voglio bene assai

Ma tanto tanto bene, sai

È una cantena ormai

Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene, sai

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare

Pensò alle notti là in America

Ma erano solo le lampare

E la bianca scia di un’elica

Guardò negli occhi la ragazza

Quegli occhi verdi come il mare

Poi all’improvisso uscì una lacrima

E lui credette d’affogare

Te voglio bene assai

Ma tanto tanto bene, sai

È una cantena ormai

Che sciogliei sangue dint’e vene, sai

Ma due occhi che ti guardano

Così vicini e veri

Ti fan scordare le parole

Confondono i pensieri

Te voglio bene assai

Ma tanto tanto bene, sai

È una cantena ormai

Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene, sai

Te voglio bene assai

Ma tanto tanto bene sai

Here where the sea shines

And the wind blows strong

On an 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 love you very much

But very, very good, you know

It is a cantena now

That melts the blood inside the veins, you know

He saw the lights in the middle of the sea

He thought of the nights there in America

But it was only the lamps

And the white trail of a propeller

He looked the girl in the eye

Those green eyes like the sea

Then suddenly a tear came out

And he thought he was drowning

I love you very much

But very, very good, you know

It is a cantena now

That I melted blood inside my veins, you know

But two eyes that look at you

So close and true

They make you forget the words

They confuse thoughts

I love you very much

But very, very good, you know

It is a cantena now

That melts the blood inside the veins, you know

I love you very much

But so very well you know
