Caruso
Adagio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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




É una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Caruso" by Adagio. The song tells a story of a man standing on an old terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento, where the sea glimmers and the wind blows strongly. As he looks at the beautiful scenery, he embraces a girl who had been crying earlier. Then, he clears his voice and starts singing.


The lyrics convey a deep love and affection the man has for the girl, expressing it through the phrase "Te voglio bene assaie ma tanto tanto bene sai" which means "I love you very much, but so much, you know." This love is described as a chain that intertwines their hearts and veins, emphasizing its strength and everlasting nature. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song emphasizes the depth of their connection.


The choice of the setting, the Gulf of Sorrento, adds to the romantic atmosphere and captures the beauty and power of nature, which parallels the intensity of the man's emotions. The song portrays a moment of vulnerability and tenderness, where love becomes an unbreakable bond between two souls.
