Caruso
Lucio Dalla
Caruso
Here where the sea shines and the wind blows strong
On an old terrace in front of the Gulf of Sorrento
A man embraces a girl after she had cried
Then he clears his voice and starts singing again
I love you very much
But so, so much, you know
It's a chain now
That melts the blood inside the veins, you know
He saw the lights out on the sea, thought of the nights in America
But they were only the lights of the fishing boats and the white wake of a propeller
He felt the pain in the music and stood up from the piano
But when he saw the moon emerging
From a cloud
He thought the moon seemed sweeter, even death
He looked into the girl's eyes, those eyes as green as the sea
Then suddenly a tear came out, and he thought he was drowning
I love you very much
But so, so much, you know
It's a chain now
That melts the blood inside the veins, you know
The power of the lyrics where every drama is a fake
That with a bit of makeup and mimicry you can become someone else
But two eyes that look at you so close and real
Make you forget the words, confuse the thoughts
So everything becomes small, even the nights in America
You turn around and see your life like the wake of a propeller
But it's life that ends, but he didn't think about it so much
In fact, he already felt happy and started singing again
I love you very much
But so, so much, you know
It's a chain now
That melts the blood inside the veins, you know
