Caruso : Josh Groban [*with on-screen lyrics*]

Another of my favorite JG songs. I don't speak Italian, so I'm not sure if the lyrics are quite right, but I found two translations and kind of mix and matched the two...If you know the language and can correct any errors, please do so! Anyway, this is my excellent calm music. :]
Rate, comment, enjoy!

Sorry, WMM wouldn't let accents appear without looking freaky, so here's the Italian lyrics with the proper accents:

Qui dove il mare luccica e tira forte il vento
Su una vecchia terrazza davanti al golfo di Surriento
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza dopo che aveva pianto
Poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare pensó alle notti lá in America
Ma erano solo le lampare e la bianc scia di un'elica
Senti il dolore nella musica si alzó dal pianoforte
Ma quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvola
Gli sembró piú dolce anche la morte
Guardó negli occhi la ragazza quegli occhi verdi come il mare
Poi all'improvviso usci una lacrima e lui credette di affogare

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

Potenza della lirica dove ogni dramma é un falso
Che con un pó di trucco e con la mimica puoi disventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti guardano cosi vicini e veri
Ti fan scordare le parole confondono i pensieri
Cosí diventa tutto piccolo anche le notti lá in America
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita come lá scia di un'elica
Ma si é la vita che finisce ma lui non ci pensó poi tanto
Anzi si sentiva giá felice e ricominció il suo canto

(x2) Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
É una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

I wish i could learn how you did this. Must I study videographic course?

[thefaeriepath]

@Victorino912 Haha, not at all. I'm a total n00b, I've never gone to school for this kind of stuff..you just gotta find what you want and figure out how to put it together. It's good to have vision and a good program. WMM upgraded from the last time I used it and it was much easier to put stuff together once you get the hang of it. Taking actual video clips is more complicated than using just pictures so that's another thing I should learn. :)

[Victorino912]

Impressive and artistic job .Thank you.

he is feeling torn...because he's wife who he loved dearly in america, died ...now that he is here in sorrento..he has falling in love with a young woman...but he feels so much for he's wife..and is torn inside for his love for her..and his new love.....he trys to put on a happy face ..as it says in the song...he says many times "i love you " but he is saying it really to he's wife...not the green eyes of the young woman..he is now with..he is tortured between he' heart & mind..than & now..
