Canzone - Songs to learn Italian

ANDREA BOCELLI - Caruso

 

Song lyrics in Italian and English Translation

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,
È una catena 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.
Senti il dolore nella musica,
E si alzò dal pianoforte,
Ma quando vide la luna
Uscire da una nuvola,
Gli sembrò più dolce anche la morte.
Guardò negli 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,
È una catena ormai,
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene, sai.

Potenza della lirica,
Dove ogni dramma è un falso,
Che con un po’ di trucco e con la mimica
Puoi diventare un altro.
Ma due occhi che ti guardano,
Così vicini e veri,
Ti fan scordare le parole,
Confondono i pensieri.
Così diventa tutto piccolo,
Anche le notti là in America,
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita,
Come la bianca scia di un’elica
Ma sì, è la vita che finisce.
Ma lui non ci pensò poi tanto.
Anzi, si sentiva già felice,
E ricominciò il suo canto.

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto, tanto bene, sai,
È una catena ormai,
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene, sai.

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto, tanto bene, sai,
È una catena ormai,
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene, sai.
Here where the sea shines,
And the wind strongly blows,
On the old terrace
In front of the Gulf of Sorrento,
A man hugs a girl
After she had been crying.
Then he clears his voice,
And restarts the song.

I want you very much
But so much, so much, you know,
It's a chain now,
That melts the blood in the veins, you know.

He saw the lights in the sea,
He thought about the nights in America.
But they were just the boat lights
And the white trail of a propeller.
He felt the pain in the music,
And he raised from the piano,
But when he saw the moon
Out from a cloud,
Even death seemed sweeter for him.
He looked at the girl in the eyes,
Those green eyes like the sea.
Then suddenly a tear appeared
And he thought he was drowning.

I want you very much
But so much, so much, you know,
It's a chain now,
That melts the blood in the veins, you know.

The force of the opera,
Where each drama is a fake,
That with a bit of make-up and mime
You can become another one.
But two eyes that look at you,
So close and real,
Make you forget the words,
Confuse the thoughts.
Then all becomes small,
Even the nights there in America.
You turn around and see your life,
Like the white trail of a propeller.
But yes, it's life that ends.
However he didn't think much about it.
Rather, he already felt happy,
And restarted his song.

I want you very much
But so much, so much, you know,
It's a chain now,
That melts the blood in the veins, you know.

I want you very much
But so much, so much, you know,
It's a chain now,
That melts the blood in the veins, you know.
