Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caruso by Al Bano from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Qui dove il mare luccica
here where the sea shines
E tira forte il vento
And the wind blows strong
Su una vecchia terrazza
On an old terrace
Davanti al golfo di Surriento
In front of the Gulf of Surriento
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
A man hugs a girl
Dopo che aveva pianto
After she cried
Poi si schiarisce la voce
Then he clears his throat
E ricomincia il canto te voglio bene assaie
And the singing begins again. I love you very much
Ma tanto tanto bene sai una catena ormai
But you know a chain very, very well by now
Che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai
That melts the blood in your veins you know
Vide le luci in mezzo al mare
He saw the lights in the middle of the sea
Pens alle notti l in America
He thought of the nights there in America
Ma erano solo le lampare
But they were only the lamps
E la bianca scia di un elica
And the white trail of a propeller
Sent il dolore della musica
He felt the pain of the music
Si alz dal pianoforte
He got up from the piano
Ma quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvola
But when she saw the moon coming out of a cloud
Gli sembr pi dolce anche la morte
Even death seemed sweeter to him
Guard negli occhi la ragazza
He looked the girl in the eyes
Quegli occhi verdi come il mare
Those green eyes like the sea
Poi all'improvviso una lacrima
Then suddenly a tear
E lui credette di affogare
And he thought he was drowning
Te voglio bene assaie
I love you so much
Ma tanto tanto bene sai una catena ormai
But you know a chain very, very well by now
Che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai
That melts the blood in your veins you know
Potenza della lirica
Power of lyric
Dove ogni dramma un falso
Where every drama is a fake
Che con un p di trucco e con la mimica
That with a bit of makeup and facial expressions
Puoi diventare un altro
You can become someone else
Ma due occhi che ti guardano
But two eyes looking at you
Cos vicini e veri ti fan scordare le parole
So close and true they make you forget the words
Confondono i pensieri
They confuse thoughts
Cos diventa tutto piccolo
So everything becomes small
Anche le notti l in America
Even the nights there in America
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita
You turn around and see your life
Come la scia di un'elica
Like the wake of a propeller
Ma s la vita che finisce
But it's life that ends
Ma lui non ci pens poi tanto
But he didn't think about it that much
Anzi si sentiva gi felice
In fact he already felt happy
E ricominci il suo canto
And he begins his song again
Te voglio bene assaie
I love you so much
Ma tanto tanto bene sai una catena ormai
But you know a chain very, very well by now
Che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai
That melts the blood in your veins you know
