Are You Ready to Learn Italian Easily Through Songs?
Did you ever imagine that you can learn italian easily and enjoy it? Just to start in the right mood, try to sing the song "Caruso" by Lara Fabian (Click on the play button inside the video and scroll down the text below to read the lyrics):
Qui dove il mare luccica e dove tira forte il vento,
Here where the sea shines and the wind strongly blows, su una vecchia terrazza davanti al golfo di Suriento,
on an old terrace in front of the gulf of Suriento, un uomo abbraccia una ragazza dopo che aveva pianto,
a man embraces a girl after she had cried, poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto:
then he clears his throat and the singing starts again.
(dialect of Neaples) "Te voglio bene assai, ma tanto tanto bene, sai,
"I love you very much, but very very much, you know, è una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint' e' vene, sai..."
it's already a chain that heats the blood inside the veins, you know..."
Vide le luci in mezzo al mare, pensò alle notti là in America,
He saw the lights in the middle of the sea, he thought of the nights, there, in America, ma erano solo le lampare e la bianca scia di un'elica.
but they were only the fishing lamps and the white wake of a prop. Sentì il dolore nella musica, si alzò dal pianoforte,
He felt the sorrow in the music, stood up from the piano, ma, quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvola,
but, when he saw the moon coming out from a cloud, gli sembrò più dolce anche la morte.
death also seemed sweeter to him.
Guardò negli occhi la ragazza, quegli occhi verdi come il mare,
He looked into the girls' eyes, those eyes as green as the sea, poi all'improvviso uscì una lacrima e lui credette di affogare:
then suddenly a tear came out and he believed he was drowning.
(dialect of Neaples) "Te voglio bene assai, ma tanto tanto bene, sai,
"I love you very much, but very very much, you know, è una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint' e' vene, sai..."
it's already a chain that heats the blood inside the veins, you know..."
La potenza della lirica dove ogni dramma è un falso
The power of opera where every drama is a hoax che con un po' di trucco e con la mimica puoi diventare un altro.
so that with some make-up and with mime you can become someone else. Così diventò tutto piccolo anche le notti là in America,
So everything became small, even the nights in America, ti volti e vedi la tua vita come la scia di un'elica.
you turn and see your life as the wake of a prop.
(dialect of Neaples) "Te voglio bene assai, ma tanto tanto bene, sai,
"I love you very much, but very very much, you know, è una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dint' e' vene, sai..."
it's already a chain that heats the blood inside the veins, you know..." dint' e' vene, sai..."
inside the veins, you know..."
