Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have but one heart to share with you,
I have but one dream that I can cling to,
You are the one dream I pray comes true.
My darling, until I saw you, I never felt this way,
And nobody else before you, ever has heard me say,
You are my one love, my life I live for you,
I have but one heart to give to you.
(Musical Interlude)
Vicin'ô mare,
facimmo 'ammore,
a core a core,
pe' nce spassá...
Só' marenaro
e tiro 'a rezza:
ma, p"allerezza,
stóngo a murí...
You are my one love, my life I live for you,
I have but one heart to give to you.
