Qui dove il mare luccica e tira forte il vento
Su una vecchia terrezza davanti al golfo di Sumiento
Un uoumo abraccia una ragazza dopo che aveva pianto
Poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto

Te voglio bene assaie
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
E una catena ormai
Che scoglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

Sitting on a terrace at the beach I see a warm embrace
A man is holding a woman with sadness on his face
I hear the woman crying while the piano's playing their pain
The bitter pain of knowing this moment won't remain
The moon is shining brightly in the middle of the sea
Just like it did that night when you flew away from me

Te voglio bene assaie
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
E una catena ormai
Che scoglie il sangue dint'e vene sai

Words are trying to comfort him but when he sees her eyes
They tell a different story and turn her words to lies
I'm looking at the tears, her eyes are green as the sea
Just like your eyes that night while you were comforting me
And I know right now he feels as if the earth were shaking
And I know when her plane flies over his heart will be breaking
And I'll know he'll see those eyes again
Every time the piano's playing
Like I see yours since that night
When they were saying

Te voglio bene assaie
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
E una catena ormai
Che scoglie il sangue dint'e vene sai
