Enrico Caruso sings "Una furtiva Lagrima" from "L'elisir d'amore" by Gaetano Donizetti.
This track is also in the Match Point's soundtrack by Woody Allen ( Great Movie! )
Check the subtitles (in Italian)
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
A sullen and secretive tear
That started there in her eye...
Those socializing bright young things
Seemed to provoke its envy...
What more searching need I do?
She loves me, that I see.
For just one moment the beating
Of her hot pulse could be felt!..
With her sighing confounding
Momentarily my sighs! ...
Oh God, I shall expire;
I can't ask for more.
This particular opera also is heard in the Japanese animated film Giant Robo. My favorite opera of all.

Actually the recording in Match Point is Caruso's recording from 1911.
This is the 'classic' 1904 recording - and beautiful it is ....
