Caruso Lyrics in English Lara Fabian

Home / Lyrics Translation / Lara Fabian / Caruso

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caruso by Lara Fabian from Italian to English.

Here where the sea sparkles and the wind blows hard

On an old terrace in front of the Gulf of Sorrento

A man hugs a girl after she'd cried

Then he clears his throat and starts singing again

I love you so much

But so much, so very much, you know

It's a chain by now

That melts the blood inside your veins, you know

He saw the lights out on the sea, thought of the nights over in America

But they were just the fishing lamps and the white trail of a propeller

He felt pain in the music, got up from the piano

But when he saw the moon emerge from a cloud

Even death seemed sweeter to him

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

Then suddenly a tear rolled out and he thought he'd drown

I love you so much

But so much, so very much, you know

It's a chain by now

That melts the blood inside your veins, you know

The power of opera, where every drama's fake

That with a little make-up and mimicry

You can become someone else

So everything gets small, even the nights over in America

You turn and see your life like a propeller's trail

I love you so much

But so much, so very much, you know

It's a chain by now

That melts the blood inside your veins, you know

I love you so much

But so much, so very much, you know

It's a chain by now

That melts the blood inside your veins, you know

Inside your veins, you know

SONG MEANING

Picture yourself on a moon-lit terrace above the glittering Gulf of Sorrento: the salty wind whips around an aging tenor as he holds a young woman close. This is the cinematic opening of "Caruso." Inspired by the final days of legendary opera singer Enrico Caruso, the lyrics mix real places with emotional symbolism. The singer relives his triumphs across the ocean, hears the "pain in the music," and faces his own mortality, yet he cannot stop declaring Te voglio bene assai ("I love you so much"). His passion is described as a chain that melts the blood in the veins, showing love so intense it blurs joy and sorrow.

At its heart, the song is a tribute to the power of opera itself. On stage, every tragedy can be faked with a little makeup, but here Caruso’s feelings are raw and unfiltered. The vast sea, the distant lights, and the rising moon all shrink beside the urgency of one last serenade. Lara Fabian’s soaring vocals magnify this bittersweet blend of nostalgia, devotion, and impending farewell, turning the famous refrain into a timeless cry of human longing.
