Caruso
Avi Delevanti Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

עוד ישמע בערי יהודה ובחוצות ירושלים
קול ששון וקול שמחה
קול חתן וקול כלה

עת דודים כלה בואי לגני
פרחה הגפן הנץ רמוני

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 assaje
Ma tanto tanto bene sai

È una catena ormai
Che sciolliee il sangue dint' 'e 'vvene sai

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Avi Delevanti's song "Caruso" convey a sense of joy and celebration. The opening lines describe the sounds that can be heard in the cities of Judea and the streets of Jerusalem: the voice of joy and happiness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride. This sets the tone for a festive occasion, perhaps a wedding celebration.

The following lines shift the scene to a terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento. Here, a man embraces a girl who had been crying, and then clears his throat and starts singing again. The lyrics then transition to Italian, where the man confesses his deep affection for the girl. He tells her that he loves her very much, so much that it is now a chain that flows in his veins.

The song captures a moment of happiness and love, portraying the power of music in expressing emotions. It creates a vivid image of celebration and the healing power of love and song.
