Caruso [English translation]

Here, where the sea shimmers and the wind gusts strongly

On an old terrace in front of the Gulf of Sorrento

A man embraces a girl after she had cried

Then clears his throat 1 and begins the song again

I love you very much

So much, so much, you know

It is a bond from now on

That frees 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 they were only the fisher men's lamps and the white wake from a propeller

He felt the pain in the music and he rose from the piano

But when he saw the moon emerging from a cloud, even death seemed sweeter to him

He looked the girl in the eyes, those eyes, green like the sea

Then suddenly a tear fell, and he believed he was drowning

I love you very much

So much, so much, you know

It is a bond from now on

That frees the blood inside the veins, you know

The power of opera, where every drama is a hoax

With a little make-up and with mimicry, you are able to become another

Thus everything becomes small even the nights there in America

You turn and see your life like the wake from a propeller

I love you very much

So much, so much, you know

It is a bond from now on

That frees the blood inside the veins, you know

I love you very much

So much, so much, you know

It is a bond from now on

That frees the blood inside the veins, you know

inside the veins, you know
