Caruso - IL DIVO

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 voglio bene assai

Ma tanto tanto bene sai

Éuna catena ormai

Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene sai

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare

Pensóalle notti láin America

Ma erano solo le lampare

E la bianca scia di un’elica

Senti il dolore nella musica

E si alzódal pianoforte

Ma quando vide uscire

La Luna da una nuvola

Gli sembrópiúdolce anche la morte

Guardónegli occhi la ragazza

Quegli occhi verdi come il mare

Poi all’improvviso usci una lacrima

E lui credette di affogare

Te voglio bene assai

Ma tanto tanto bene sai

Éuna catena ormai

Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene sai

Potenza della lirica

Dove ogni dramma éun falso

Che con un pódi trucco e con la mimica

Puoi diventare un altro

Ma due occhi che ti guardano

Cosi vicini e veri

Ti fan scordare le parole

Confondono I pensieri

Cosídiventa tutto piccolo

Anche le notti láin America

Ti volti e vedi la tua vita

Dietro láscia di un’elica

Ma si éla vita che finisce

E non e ce pensópoi tanto

Anzi si sentiva giáfelice

E ricomincióil suo canto

Te voglio bene assai

Ma tanto tanto bene sai

Éuna catena ormai

Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene sai

Te voglio bene assai

Ma tanto tanto bene sai

Éuna catena ormai

Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene sai

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 love you very much

But so very well you know

It's a chain 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

Feel the pain in the music

And got up from the piano

But when she saw it go out

The Moon from a cloud

Even death seemed sweeter to him

He looked at the girl in his eyes

Those green eyes like the sea

Then suddenly a tear came out

And he thought he was drowning

I love you very much

But so very well you know

It's a chain now

That melts the blood inside the veins, you know

Power of opera

Where every drama is a fake

What with a little make-up and mimicry

You can become another

But two eyes that look at you

So close and true

They make you forget the words

They confuse thoughts

So everything becomes small

Even the nights there in America

You turn around and see your life

Behind the ax of a propeller

But yes, life ends

And he didn't think so much about it

On the contrary, he felt happy

And his song began again

I love you very much

But so very well you know

It's a chain now

That melts the blood inside the veins, you know

I love you very much

But so very well you know

It's a chain now

That melts the blood inside the veins, you know
