Caruso (English) Lyrics by Lucio Dalla

Here where the sea sparkles
And the wind blows hard
On an old terrace
In front of the Gulf of Sorrento
A man embraces a young woman
After she has cried
He steadies his voice
And recommences his song
I wish you well with all my heart
But I know so very, very well
That it's now a chain
That releases the blood in my veins
He saw the lights in the middle of the sea
He thought of the nights in America
But they were only the lights from the boat
And the white wake of a propeller
He felt the sadness in the music
And got up from the piano
But when he saw the moon emerge from behind a cloud
To him even death seemed sweeter
He looked into the eyes of the young woman
Those eyes, green like the sea
She suddenly shed a tear
And he thought he was drowning
I wish you well with all my heart
But I know so very, very well
That it's now a chain
That releases the blood in my veins
