Caruso

Here where the sea shines and the wind blows strong
on an old terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento
a man embraces a girl drowned in tears
then his voice clears and the singing begins.

I love you so much
but so much, you know
it's a chain by now
that melts the blood, you know.

He saw some light in the sea, thought of the nights of his America
but it was just a reflection and the white wake of a ship.
He felt the pain in that music that starts from the piano
but when he saw the moon come out from behind a cloud
he couldn't imagine a sweeter death.

He looked into her eyes, eyes as green as the sea
then suddenly that tear and he couldn't breathe anymore.

I love you so much
but so much, you know
it's a chain by now
that melts the blood, you know.

The power of the lyrics like a great false drama
and with a good disguise and with mime it drags you anyway.
But two eyes that look at you up close are so true,
they make you remember words, confuse thoughts.

So everything seems so small even the nights of his America
you look back and see your life like the wake of a ship.

I know life is ending, I don't even want to think about it...
so he already feels happy to resume his singing.

I love you so much
but so much, you know
it's a chain by now
that melts the blood, you know.
