Lyrics and translation Ana Belén feat. Lucio Dalla - Caruso (with Lucio Dalla)

Caruso (with Lucio Dalla)

Aquí, donde el mar reluce y sopla fuerte el viento
Sobre una vieja terraza mirando al golfo de Sorrento
Un hombre abraza a una muchacha, ahogado por el llanto
Luego, se aclara la voz y da comienzo al canto

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto, tanto bene sai
È una catena ormai
Che scioglie il sangue rinde bene sai

Vio alguna luz dentro del mar, pensó en las noches de su América
Pero, era solo algún reflejo y la blanca estela de un barco
Sintió el dolor en esa música que arranca del piano
Mas, cuando vio la luna salir trás una nube
No supo imaginar muerte más dulce

Miró sus ojos de muchacha
Ojos tan verdes como el mar
Luego de improviso aquella lágrima
Y ya no pudo respirar

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto, tanto bene sai
È una catena ormai
Che scioglie il sangue rinde bene sai

La fuerza de la lírica como un gran drama falso
Que con un buen disfraz y con la mímica te arrastra, sin embargo
Pero, dos ojos que te miran de cerca son tan ciertos
Te hacen recordar palabras, confunden pensamientos

Así y todo, parece tan pequeño
Hasta las noches de su América
Miras atrás y ves tu vida
Como la estela de un barco

Lo sé, la vida que se acaba
No quiero ni pensarlo
Así se siente ya feliz
Para retomar su canto

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto, tanto bene sai
È una catena ormai
Che scioglie il sangue rinde bene sai

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto, tanto bene sai
È una catena ormai
Che scioglie il sangue rinde bene (Rinde bene)

Caruso (with Lucio Dalla)

Here, where the sea sways and the wind whispers bold
Upon an ancient terrace, facing Sorrento's bay of gold
A man embraces a maiden, suffocating in despair
Then, he clears his quivering voice and slowly starts his prayer

I love you so much my dear
More than words can say my dear
It's a chain that binds us now
A bond that melts my soul, melts and flows, my dear

He saw a glimmer in the sea, and visions of his homeland filled his mind
But it was only soft moonlight, and the trail of a distant boat behind
He felt the sorrow of that song, entwined in the piano's gentle sigh
Yet, when he saw the moon appear, peeking from behind the veil of night
He could not imagine a sweeter way to die

He gazed into the depths of her emerald eyes
Eyes as green as the boundless sea
And then, a single tear escaped
Suffocating his aching plea

I love you so much my dear
More than words can say my dear
It's a chain that binds us now
A bond that melts my soul, melts and flows, my dear

The power of these words, like a grand and tragic play
With skillful guise, its mimicry can lead your heart astray
Yet, two eyes that meet your own, their gaze so pure and true
Stir memories, cloud thoughts, and leave you feeling blue

Still, it seems so small, so frail
Even the memories of his distant homeland's embrace
You look back and watch your life unfold
Like the wake of a ship that sails into space

I know, my life is fading now
I dare not think of what's to be
In this moment, I find solace, I am free
And so, I lift my voice to sing once more, for thee

I love you so much my dear
More than words can say my dear
It's a chain that binds us now
A bond that melts my soul, melts and flows, my dear

I love you so much my dear
More than words can say my dear
It's a chain that binds us now
A bond that melts my soul, melts and flows, my dear
