Caruso [English translation]

Here where the sea sparkles (/shines)

and the wind blows hard (/gusts)

on an old terrace

before Sorrento's bay

a man wraps his arms around a girl

after she had cried (actually could be him or her, the words aren't clear)

then he clears his throat

and the singing starts again

I care so much for you

so very, very much, you know

it is a chain(bond), by now

which thaws blood in the veins, you know

He saw the lights amidst the sea

he thought of those american nights

but they were just the fishing boat lamps

and a white propeller's wake

He felt the aching (/pain) in the music

he raised from the piano

but upon seeing the moon coming out of a cloud

even death seemed more gentle

He gazed the girl in the eyes

those eyes as green as the sea

then suddenly a tear was shed

and he thought he was about to drown

I care so much for you

so very, very much, you know

it is a chain(bond), by now

which thaws blood in the veins, you know

Power of the Opera

where every drama is faux

and with a little make up and some miming

you can become someone else

But two eyes looking at you

so close and so true (/real)

make you forget the words

confuse the thoughts

And so it all becomes so small

even those american nights

you turn around and see your life

as a propeller's wake

Of course, it's life that's coming to an end

but he didn't think about it all that much

rather he felt happy by now

and started again his singing

I care so much for you

so very, very much, you know

it is a chain(bond), by now

which thaws blood in the veins, you know
