English Translations

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, by now
which melts 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 screw’s wake

He felt the aching in the music
he raised from the piano
but upon seeing the moon emerging from a cloud
even death seemed milder to him

He stared the girl in the eyes
those green sea-like eyes
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, by now
which melts blood in the veins, you know

Power of the Opera
where every drama is faux
and with a little make up and some gesturing
you can become someone else

But two eyes looking at you
so close and so true
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 screw’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, by now
