Here, where the sea sparkles
And the wind blows strong
On an old terrace
In front of the Gulf of Sorrento
A man embraces a girl
After she had cried
Then he clears his throat
And starts singing again

I love you very much
But so, so much, you know
It's a chain by now
That melts the blood inside our veins, you know

He saw the lights in the middle of the sea
He thought of the nights over there in America
But they were just the lamps
In the white wake of a propeller
He felt the pain in the music
He got up from the piano
But when he saw the moon come out from a cloud
Even death seemed sweeter to him
He looked into the girl's eyes
Those green eyes like the sea
Then suddenly a tear fell
And he thought he was drowning

I love you very much
But so, so much, you know
It's a chain by now
That melts the blood inside our veins, you know

The power of opera
Where every drama is a fake
That with a little makeup and mimicry
You can become someone else
But two eyes that look at you
So close and real
Make you forget the words
And confuse your thoughts
So everything becomes small
Even the nights over there in America
You turn and see your life
Like the wake of a propeller
But yes, life ends
But he didn't think about it much
Instead, he already felt happy
And started his song again

I love you very much
But so, so much, you know
It's a chain by now
That melts the blood inside our veins, you know

Well, you know
That melts the blood
Mm, but I love you, you know
That melts the blood inside our veins, you know
Inside our veins, you know
