You know these songs are sooo known in Italy that we don’t even hear them anymore. It’s like when you’re born on a beautiful view and can’t recognise how beautiful it is. But when you see them thorough somebody else’s eyes and hear through somebody else’s ears what you already know, and look at the reaction and the wonder on their faces... you see it again for the first time. You hear them again for the first time. Only then you can cry again.
The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla (from Bologna, northern Italy), wrote this while staying in one of the rooms where Enrico Caruso, former famous tenor (From Neaples, southern Italy), spent the final days of his life. Caruso was 48-years-old when he died, and a few years before Caruso died, he married Dorothy Park Benjamin who was 20 years younger. They had a baby girl they named Gloria. Lucio Dalla wrote this song while imagining how Caruso, who knew he was dying, would have said goodbye to his young wife - the love of his life. curiosity: in sicilian dialect the word caruso means (ragazzo) boy. ua-cam.com/video/JqtSuL3H2xs/v-deo.html
Here, where the sea shines and where the wind howls, on the old terrace infront of the Gulf of Sorrento, a man embraces a girl after she has cried then he clears his voice and continues the song: I love you very much, very, very much, you know it is a chain by now that melts the blood inside the veins, you know He saw the lights in the middle of the sea, thought of the nights there in America, but they were only the fishermens lamps and the white wake of a propeller (stern) He felt the pain in the music and got up from the piano, but when he saw the moon emerging from a cloud also the death seemed sweeter to him. He looked in girls eyes, those eyes as green as the sea, then suddenly a tear fell and he believed he was drowning. I love you very much, very, very much, you know, it is a chain by now that melts the blood inside the vein you know The power of lyric, where every drama is fake with a little make-up and with mime you can become someone else. But two eyes that look at you so close and real makes you to forget the words and confuse the thoughts So everything became small, even the nights in America You turn and you see your life like a wake of a propeller (stern) Yeah, it's life that ends, but he didn't think too much about it on the opposite, he felt already happy and began again to sing I love you very much very very much, you know it's become a chain that melts the blood inside the veins, you know
Lucio Dalla is the guy in white dress and he's one of the greatest italian songwriters of all times...he wrote really italian masterpiece like this "Caruso", "Piazza Grande", "4 Marzo 1943" and many many fantastic songs. Luciano Pavarotti is a legend of Opera music, he cooperated with U2 in song "Miss Sarajevo". Lucio and Luciano are two great pieces of italian music.
Where do I even begin with this? Luciano Pavarotti has been the greatest tenor of contemporary times. Lucio Dalla has been a genius of Italian music, singer songwriter and excellent musician. Both passed away too early. I can't talk about the song, it would take too long, I just find it amazing.
I respect you very much because you have no preconceptions and you listen to music from all over the world !! You are a myth for this !! Luciano Pavarotti was one of the greatest opera singers (Bocelli is nothing compared to Pavarotti). Pavarotti had a global success in his career and he sang in all the theaters of the world! Pavarotti was the only opera singer who organized concerts singing with the greatest pop music singers. Lucio Dalla was one of the greatest Italian songwriters.
The many Italian songs are important lyrics, especially in the songs of Lucio Dalla, in which he tells a story. I also recommend another Italian singer, Mia Martini, a little mistreated in Italy (Mia Martini - Almeno tu nell'universo (English Translation))
Battisti-Mogol's lirics are certainly among the best ever, but I believe that the translation would penalize them: they are very deep and often autobiographical lirics. Like Lucio Battisti, very few. I would start with " Pensieri e parole" , pure poetry
the story tells of the last days of the life of the tenor Caruso and his passion for a young woman to whom he gave singing lessons. Still wanting to live and love while you are about to die. But even death while you are looking at the sea at night in the moonlit Gulf of Naples is still a sweet death.
Pavarotti era un grande uomo. Si prestava spesso ad esperimenti con artisti pop e spesso il risultato era straordinario. Pavarotti aveva l'umiltà che solo i Grandi uomini hanno. Lucio Dalla è stato un'altra icona della nostra cultura canora. Adoro La sera dei miracoli, Futura, Stella di Mare.
this is a rare case of musical perfection through timing.. Caruso was an Italian opera tenor, world famous in his time, who married an american woman half his age, fathered a girl with her and then died, still a fairly young man, in the 1920's. He was from Naples. Lucio Dalla was a singer-songwriter who wrote many famous pieces. this was his most internationally well known song. It portrays Caruso at the end of his life, grieving, through music, the fact that he is dying and leaving a young family behind. The song was so well received that it was covered multiple times and amongst many honours and accolades, Dalla was named a honorary citizen of Naples because of it (that's a whole 'nother level of melodrama that is very fitting with Naples and the sentiment of its people)... Luciano Pavarotti was probably the most celebrated and accomplished tenor of his time, certainly one of the most famous ones of the century. I think Lucio Dalla might have peed a little when Luciano accepted to play the part of Caruso and sing it together (Luciano may even have been the one to reach out, since he liked to collab with all kinds of artists). Now that they both have passed, there will probably never be a better pairing of voices and talent to sing this piece than the author of the song and Luciano.
OMG! THESE GIANTS! bless their souls. People definitely know what to suggest for your channel hahah. These two make me proud to be Italian. Caruso is Lucio Dalla's song. You should also check out "Piazza Grande" and "4 Marzo 1943". He was and still is one of the best Italian songwriters. Luciano Pavarotti, simply a legend of classic and lyrical music. May they both rest in peace. 🙏
Now Ang you are entering the very heart of italian music's hidden lair. I strongly suggest you "Miserere" by Luciano pavarotti and Zucchero Fornaciari. You won't regret, i assure you.
la canzone dedicata al più grande tenore mai esistito cantata dal suo secondo ed il grande cantautore Dalla che ha scritto questo capolavoro ,in circostanze incredibili che dovresti scoprire,i testi sono bellissimi con un significato incredibile scoprilo, e caspisci che la musica e un liguaggio universale ,ma lo devi avere dentro nel sangue.
5:51 This is why at times mind almost falters in front of such infinite treasure of human creation. A lifetime is not enough to contemplate it all, the desperation of awareness of losing something precious starts. It's as if, not being able to admire something, it vanishes forever.
Luciano Pavarotti was one of the greatest tenors in the world. The performance of the "Three Tenors" in "Nessun Dorma" was beautiful. We Italians miss Luciano Pavarotti a lot ❤️
WIKIPEDIA-Lucio Dalla (4 March 1943 - 1 March 2012) was an Italian singer-songwriter, musician and actor. He also played clarinet and keyboards. Dalla was the composer of "Caruso" (1986), a song dedicated to Italian opera tenor Enrico Caruso, and "L'anno che verrà" (1979).The song "Caruso", released in 1986, has been covered by numerous international artists such as Luciano Pavarotti and Julio Iglesias. The song "Caruso", released in 1986, has been covered by numerous international artists such as Luciano Pavarotti and Julio Iglesias. The version song by Pavarotti sold over 9 million copies. Luciano Pavarotti (12 October 1935 - 6 September 2007) was an Italian operatic tenor who during the late part of his career crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed and loved tenors of all time.
Naples (the city that gave inspiration to lucio dalla for this song) is the most powerfull and incredible and infinite juke box. These words are not mine, italian and from naples, yet from 'your' john turturro who came here and left astonished of how this city is a musical juke box like no others in the world. Lucio dalla himself, who is not from neaples, once run into this city never left.
The one standing with the powerful voice is Luciano Pavarotti, a worldwide known Italian operatic tenor. Many say the best ever. He is known for reaching the C high note (C5) in the opera song "Nessun Dorma". The other one playing piano with the white hat is Lucio Dalla, an italian singer and author.
Actually he earned the nickname the king of the high C from un fille du regiment where he performed 9 consecutive high C 's . Nessun dorma while a challenging and beautiful aria has been overused and in my opinion there are far greater arias and even neapolitan songs. Vesti La Giubba , Torna a Surriento, una furtiva Lacrima , La Donna E Mobile all are better than the overly used and popularised nessun dorma
Bocelli used to be a student of Pavarotti. Pavarotti is world renowned because he used to host an international event in Modena called Pavarotti and Friends. Anyone famous at that time in world was on that stage, from Bono U2 to Michael Jackson to James Brown. Pavarotti founded a school for lirica singers in Modena. Lucio Dalla is from Bologna, near by Modena, he is one of the most famous singer. Now are both unfortunately death.
This is a poetic song.. make cry.. Translation Italian - English: Qui dove il mare luccica - Here, where the sea shines E tira forte il vento - And the wind bolws hard Su una vecchia terrazza - On a old terrace Davanti al golfo di Surriento - In front of the Gulf of Surriento Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza - A man embraces a girl Dopo che aveva pianto - After she had been crying Poi si schiarisce la voce - Then he clears his throat E ricomincia il canto - And starts over his song. Te voglio bene assaje - I love you so much Ma tanto tanto bene sai - So, so very much, you know È una catena ormai - It's a chain, by now Che scioglie il sangue nelle vene sai - That melts the blood in the veins.. you know.. Vide le luci in mezzo al mare - He saw the lights in the sea Pensò alle notti là in America - He thought about the nights there in America Ma erano solo le lampare - But they were only fishing vessels Nella bianca scia di un'elica - In the white trail of a propeller Sentì il dolore nella musica - He felt the pain in the music Si alzò dal pianoforte - He stood up from the piano Ma quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvola - But when he saw the moon getting out from a cloud Gli sembrò più dolce anche la morte - He thought the death would be sweeter Guardò negli occhi la ragazza - He looked in the girl's eyes Quegli occhi verdi come il mare - Those eyes green as the sea Poi all'improvviso uscì una lacrima - Then suddenly she shead a tear E lui credette di affogare - And he believed he would drown Te voglio bene assaje - I love you so much Ma tanto tanto bene sai - So, so very much, you know È una catena ormai - It's a chain, by now Che scioglie il sangue nelle vene sai - That melts the blood in the veins.. you know..

Te voglio bene assaje - I love you so much Ma tanto tanto bene sai - So, so very much, you know È una catena ormai - It's a chain, by now Che scioglie il sangue nelle vene sai - That melts the blood in the veins.. you know..
You're now ready for opera reactions! If it feels dawnting, try not to feel intimidated, it's simply theatre plays which are orchestrated and sung throughout
Meraviglia delle. Meraviglie canzone strepitosa scritta da Lucio Dalla. E interpretata insieme al grandissimo Luciano Pavarotti ...non si può dimenticare questo capolavoro...bravissimi. .
This is one of the masterpieces of the Italian music. Ok, here the youngest don't usually listen this, I as well don't have this in my playlists, but it's undeniable that this is an historical song and performance
Honestly? Lucio is so so so precious. Lucio alone with no other voices around is unreachable by himself. Pavarotti has amazing voice, sure... Lucio as a majestic soul though and... as long as Caruso is chanting by heart... Lucio is way more than perfection at it. He own it. CIAO LUCIO! ♥️
An amazing song by two amazing artists who have sadly departed, singing about another Italian great singer, also departed. The one you like best is not Lucio, but Luciano Pavarotti, the most acclaimed opera singer of the century. Lucio, on the other hand, is an extremely talented singer-songwriter that Italians love with a passion. Angelo, I have "bought your cup of coffee" and requested a song of you to react to more than 9 times, but to no avail. I'm starting to take it personal (smile).
A bit of translation to better understand: Here, where the sea glitters And the wind blows hard Upon an old terrace Before the bay of "Surriento" A man hugs a girl After she wept Then he clears his throat And he starts singing again "Te vogl' bene assaje" (I love you so much) "Ma tanto tanto bene, sai" (So very, very much, you know) "E' 'na catena ormai" (It's a bond now) "Che scioglie il sangue dint' 'e 'vvene sai" (That melts my blood into my veins, you know) He saw the lights in the middle of the sea He thought of the nights there in America But they were just the fishing lights In the white wake of a propeller He felt the pain in the music He got away from the piano But when he saw the moon coming out of a cloud Even death felt sweeter He looked the girl in the eyes Those eyes, green like the sea Then suddenly a tear rolled down And he thought he was drowning "Te vogl' bene assaje" (I love you so much) "Ma tanto tanto bene, sai" (So very, very much, you know) "E' 'na catena ormai" (It's a bond now) "Che scioglie il sangue dint' 'e 'vvene sai" (That melts my blood into my veins, you know) The power of the opera Where every tragedy is a fake And with a little makeup and with your gestures you can become someone else But two eyes looking at you So close and so true They make you forget the lyrics They confuse your thoughts So all becomes very small Even the nights there in America You turn around and see your life Like the wake of a propeller Oh, yes, it's your life ending... But he didn't think so much about it Rather he felt happy already And he started singing again: "Te vogl' bene assaje" (I love you so much) "Ma tanto tanto bene, sai" (So very, very much, you know) "E' 'na catena ormai" (It's a bond now) "Che scioglie il sangue dint' 'e 'vvene sai" (That melts my blood into my veins, you know)
The man standing with the voice you liked so much is Luciano Pavarotti, one of the greatest tenors. Lucio Dalla who sings and plays on the piano is the one who wrote this beautiful song, as well as many others, which I recommend reading the translation to understand how much poetry there is besides music ...
Thank you for your reaction, i mean it! 😊✨I'm glad you can appreciate this form of art, 'italian bel canto', lyrics, poetry, marvelous powerful expressive voices... Music for the soul, really. Thank you!✨
Angelo, Lucio Dalla is the guy at the piano, is considered one of the top Italian singer songwriters of all times. He died 9 years ago leaving us a lot of beautiful songs, real poetry, not cheesy lyrics. Great musician he played the clarinet and use to be very ironic about himself and even if quiet and reserved he's buit very strong bonds with many of his collegues. The tenor here is of course the great Luciano Pavarotti who comes from the same Italy region of Lucio Dalla and here sings the songs interpreting Enrico Caruso, the neapoletan tenor who lived between the 19th and 20th centuries. Besides the song being one of the most beautiful ones of the last century here you can easily feel the raw emotion in Pavarottiì's voice. I have got used to reaction mode and interruptions etc yet this time pauses have bothered me a bit (no offense). I am glad you felt the power of this song and performance.
Thanks ANG .... Keep it up, you are spreading Italian culture around the world, you are showing an open mind. THANK YOU for what you do, a 67-year-old man who listens to all ethnic musical genres tells you - Grazie ANG.... Continua così, stai facendo diffusione di cultura italiana nel mondo, dimostri una mente aperta. GRAZIE per ciò che fai, te lo dice un uomo di 67 anni che ascolta ogni genere etnico musicale
About the missing out, I think about it too. We in Italy are used to hear English masterpieces but the opposite is not true. So I always think "shit they're missing out on x, y, z, poor them". And then I think "shit I must be missing out on so much masterpieces all over the world, poor me". Ps. Caruso was an old italian opera singer, the song is from his POV
I have goosebumps every time I listen Caruso, this song OMG I can't describe my feelings. I'm so happy and thankful that you're into Italian music, thank you so much for this. I realized that I didn't subscribe to your channel yet, so I did right now!
Listen to Pavarotti singing this alone with English captions. You may be about to enter the rabbit hole that is Pavarotti. Pavarotti has the ability to give you goosebumps and cry. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Lucio and Luciano are not with us anymore...I imagine them singing this song up there with the angels...Thank you for reacting to our beautiful italian music
Do you know how Pavarotti's collaboration with pop singers was born? The same day the success of Andrea Bocelli was born. Bocelli recorded the demo of "Zucchero - Miserere", to make Pavarotti listen to him and convince him to sing it.
Min. 3:10 really? You don't know that the man with great voice is LUCIANO PAVAROTTI? One of the greatest Tenor ever!!! Everybody knows him. Look at video Pavarotti with James Brown
Simply a Masterpiece! They were the first singers to blend classical music and pop...all the others followed! Eg. Bocelli, il divo, il volo etc... you must see Luciano and friends...many concerts done with several international artists. Way to go!
I really recommend that you listen to a version of Caruso sung by Luciano Pavarotti alone. When he was doing his "Luciano and friends" shows, I always felt that he held back to not discourage his singing partners who, unlike him with a classical and opera voice, where mostly pop and rock singers.
Lucio Dalla (the one at the piano) was a great Italian singer-songwriter and Luciano Pavarotti was one of the greatest Opera singer in history and a really big and famous international star known all over the world and also in the USA... you never heard of him?! Even Ron Howard made a documentary about him (check it out, it's a really amazing movie)!
Another great italian songwriter is francesco guccini, he wrote many beautiful and maeningfull pieces like " shomer ma mi llaillah", various "canzoni di notte" (night'song - exspecially first and second night'song), "Auschwitz" or song of the child in the wind, "cristoforo colombo", "ulysses", "antènor", "canzone per un'amica"(song for a friend) and many others that deserve an auction and a reaction
Two sacred monsters of Italian music sing together a wonderful song, Your next step is to have a full immersion year in Italy and learn Italian lang :D
ok....ready to react to the song that would have won "Eurovision Song Contest 2020" HANDS DOWN, if it wasn't suspendend for covid? The song is "Fai Rumore" by Diodato. Listen it full volume, the chorus will give goosebumps , the highest you ever had. Oh and look at the lyrics too. Very clever lyrics, hard to see such original and clever lyrics on a ending love story nowadays. The song, who won the Sanremo Festival, was performed in an incredible shot inside an empty ancient romans arena like Coliseum, "Arena di Verona", during the lockdown to fortify national spirit in those hard days. You can check both the officila video or the live inside the empty arena, both are incredible
OOO I haven't seen this performance! Wow! Is Pavarotti singing in a higher register? I'm sure you have found out by now but...Lucio is the piano player and composer, Luciano is the "big guy". I love Lucio too. This is a very unusual performance from Luciano, he is clearly experimenting with levels of expression that are not used in opera. Here is the story about Andrea Bocelli I read, don't know if it's true. Before Bocelli became famous, he was asked to do a demo tape which his producer would send to Pavorotti. Pavarotti sent back his reply, "You don't need me, you have him!" And so Bocelli got his breakthrough song. The lyrics will only confuse you as they don't spell out who the song is about, or why he is singing it to a "girl". The song is about Enrico Caruso, the opera singer considered the greatest of all by opera singers. At age 48, Enrico learned from his doctors that he was dying. Enrico was very happy in his marriage of 2 yrs to a woman 20 yrs younger than he. Together they had a 2 yr old baby girl. In this song, Enrico is telling his wife how much he loves her and their life together, and that he is dying.
Lucio Dalla. Great singer, songwriter and also a one man show. He was so charismatic. Maestro Pavarotti... what can we say? Legend. This song can be easily considered a masterpiece. It's musically enchanting and lyrically offers you huge "palette" of images. Stunning. 🇮🇹🤓 Little correction on your pronunciation: the C in both Italian names, Luciano and Lucio, sounds like the C in "Ciao!" or "Chinese" , not a S sound 👍
For most Americans there is nothing else but Rock, Blues or Rap. The world is full of music and we are missing most of it thanks to Label companies and affiliated Radio. Africa is a good place for innovative music you will be surprise at the quality and quantity.
Here we are faced with a masterpiece ... "Caruso". One of the greatest and most beautiful songs ever written in the world. And we are faced with two unique artists of their kind, worldwide. Unfortunately, they are no longer among us. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
You know these songs are sooo known in Italy that we don’t even hear them anymore. It’s like when you’re born on a beautiful view and can’t recognise how beautiful it is. But when you see them thorough somebody else’s eyes and hear through somebody else’s ears what you already know, and look at the reaction and the wonder on their faces... you see it again for the first time. You hear them again for the first time. Only then you can cry again.
So true :)
Verissimo .
E' che ti prende proprio dentro.
So true
Absolutely true 🌷🌸
The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla (from Bologna, northern Italy), wrote this while staying in one of the rooms where Enrico Caruso, former famous tenor (From Neaples, southern Italy), spent the final days of his life.

curiosity: in sicilian dialect the word caruso means (ragazzo) boy.

Good work Ang! Love and respect from Italy!
Here, where the sea shines and where the wind howls,
on the old terrace infront of the Gulf of Sorrento,
a man embraces a girl after she has cried
then he clears his voice and continues the song:
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know
He saw the lights in the middle of the sea, thought of the nights there in America,
but they were only the fishermens lamps and the white wake of a propeller (stern)
He felt the pain in the music and got up from the piano,
but when he saw the moon emerging from a cloud
also the death seemed sweeter to him.
He looked in girls eyes, those eyes as green as the sea,
then suddenly a tear fell and he believed he was drowning.
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the vein you know
The power of lyric, where every drama is fake
with a little make-up and with mime you can become someone else.
But two eyes that look at you so close and real
makes you to forget the words and confuse the thoughts
So everything became small, even the nights in America
You turn and you see your life like a wake of a propeller (stern)
Yeah, it's life that ends, but he didn't think too much about it
on the opposite, he felt already happy and began again to sing
I love you very much
very very much, you know
it's become a chain
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know
Perfect 👌💯✨🎶
Thank you
Pavarotti e Lucio dalla due orgogli e due tesori nazionali, purtroppo spirati, ma le cui voci e canzoni li hanno resi immortali.
Adesso cantano con gli angeli 👍
The lyrics to this song are pure poetry.
PS Luciano Pavarotti was one of the world’s best tenors. Pure talent!
Lucio Dalla is the guy in white dress and he's one of the greatest italian songwriters of all times...he wrote really italian masterpiece like this "Caruso", "Piazza Grande", "4 Marzo 1943" and many many fantastic songs. Luciano Pavarotti is a legend of Opera music, he cooperated with U2 in song "Miss Sarajevo". Lucio and Luciano are two great pieces of italian music.
Where do I even begin with this? Luciano Pavarotti has been the greatest tenor of contemporary times. Lucio Dalla has been a genius of Italian music, singer songwriter and excellent musician. Both passed away too early. I can't talk about the song, it would take too long, I just find it amazing.
Can't believe you haven't ever heard of Pavarotti, he is a human monument into the Opera world :-)
I respect you very much because you have no preconceptions and you listen to music from all over the world !! You are a myth for this !! Luciano Pavarotti was one of the greatest opera singers (Bocelli is nothing compared to Pavarotti). Pavarotti had a global success in his career and he sang in all the theaters of the world! Pavarotti was the only opera singer who organized concerts singing with the greatest pop music singers. Lucio Dalla was one of the greatest Italian songwriters.

Mia, da brividi.
UUUUH YEAH YOU GOTTA DO THIS ONE
Beh,di Mia devi ascoltare MINUETTO, mi raccomando,trovati la traduzione 🥰
Battisti-Mogol's lirics are certainly among the best ever, but I believe that the translation would penalize them: they are very deep and often autobiographical lirics. Like Lucio Battisti, very few. I
would start with " Pensieri e parole" , pure poetry
This is the best of italian musica tradition. God ...they passed away. Ever Italian cried.
hai toccato il cielo della musica con un dito ,
the story tells of the last days of the life of the tenor Caruso and his passion for a young woman to whom he gave singing lessons. Still wanting to live and love while you are about to die. But even death while you are looking at the sea at night in the moonlit Gulf of Naples is still a sweet death.
I love hard rock, metal and this shit. But when I listen to Pavarotti…. Man, he was amazing! Ciao maestro! ❤️
Pavarotti era un grande uomo. Si prestava spesso ad esperimenti con artisti pop e spesso il risultato era straordinario. Pavarotti aveva l'umiltà che solo i Grandi uomini hanno. Lucio Dalla è stato un'altra icona della nostra cultura canora. Adoro La sera dei miracoli, Futura, Stella di Mare.
this is a rare case of musical perfection through timing..
Caruso was an Italian opera tenor, world famous in his time, who married an american woman half his age, fathered a girl with her and then died, still a fairly young man, in the 1920's. He was from Naples. Lucio Dalla was a singer-songwriter who wrote many famous pieces. this was his most internationally well known song. It portrays Caruso at the end of his life, grieving, through music, the fact that he is dying and leaving a young family behind.
The song was so well received that it was covered multiple times and amongst many honours and accolades, Dalla was named a honorary citizen of Naples because of it (that's a whole 'nother level of melodrama that is very fitting with Naples and the sentiment of its people)...
Luciano Pavarotti was probably the most celebrated and accomplished tenor of his time, certainly one of the most famous ones of the century. I think Lucio Dalla might have peed a little when Luciano accepted to play the part of Caruso and sing it together (Luciano may even have been the one to reach out, since he liked to collab with all kinds of artists).
Now that they both have passed, there will probably never be a better pairing of voices and talent to sing this piece than the author of the song and Luciano.
La maggior parte delle canzoni Italiane hanno testi e musica che sono poesie.
This is absolutely true,
beautifully true.
Long live Italy.
Lucio Dalla & Mango ( Pino Mango) singing :" Bella d' estate " , song written of Lucio Dalla . Beautiful voice and music!
The piano player is Lucio Dalla, the tenore singer is Luciano Pavarotti
Pavarotti is literally an angel...I can't imagine how a human being can sing like that...he touches the soul of the listener..
OMG! THESE GIANTS! bless their souls. People definitely know what to suggest for your channel hahah. These two make me proud to be Italian. Caruso is Lucio Dalla's song. You should also check out "Piazza Grande" and "4 Marzo 1943". He was and still is one of the best Italian songwriters.
Luciano Pavarotti, simply a legend of classic and lyrical music.
May they both rest in peace. 🙏
To listen to Pavarotti, it is advisable to listen to Nessun Dorma
Pavarotti's masterpiece has always been the opera "Aida" of Giuseppe Verdi, magnificent voice and perfect singing technique !!
I completely agree, but to appreciate Lucio’s work the best you need to understand the lyrics, so search for a good translation 😉
Now Ang you are entering the very heart of italian music's hidden lair. I strongly suggest you "Miserere" by Luciano pavarotti and Zucchero Fornaciari. You won't regret, i assure you.
Totaly agree! Zucchero is anothere absolute genius and is style is unique.

5:51 This is why at times mind almost falters in front of such infinite treasure of human creation. A lifetime is not enough to contemplate it all, the desperation of awareness of losing something precious starts. It's as if, not being able to admire something, it vanishes forever.
Questo è un classico senza tempo!!!
Caruso cantata anche solo da Dalla fa venire i brividi
Para mi , la mejor , Lucio Dalla solo.
Luciano Pavarotti was one of the greatest tenors in the world. The performance of the "Three Tenors" in "Nessun Dorma" was beautiful. We Italians miss Luciano Pavarotti a lot ❤️
Lucio's house in Bologna has become a museum.
WIKIPEDIA-Lucio Dalla (4 March 1943 - 1 March 2012) was an Italian singer-songwriter, musician and actor. He also played clarinet and keyboards.
Dalla was the composer of "Caruso" (1986), a song dedicated to Italian opera tenor Enrico Caruso, and "L'anno che verrà" (1979).The song "Caruso", released in 1986, has been covered by numerous international artists such as Luciano Pavarotti and Julio Iglesias. The song "Caruso", released in 1986, has been covered by numerous international artists such as Luciano Pavarotti and Julio Iglesias. The version song by Pavarotti sold over 9 million copies.
Luciano Pavarotti (12 October 1935 - 6 September 2007) was an Italian operatic tenor who during the late part of his career crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed and loved tenors of all time.
Naples (the city that gave inspiration to lucio dalla for this song) is the most powerfull and incredible and infinite juke box. These words are not mine, italian and from naples, yet from 'your' john turturro who came here and left astonished of how this city is a musical juke box like no others in the world. Lucio dalla himself, who is not from neaples, once run into this city never left.
Finalmente 👍👌❤if only you knew what they are singing.Ciao Angelo!
First singer its Lucio Dalla ( pop music) second is Luciano Pavarotti ( opera )
"... he looked into her eyes, those eyes as green as the sea, then a tear suddenly dropped and he felt he was drowning ..." (3:57)
The one standing with the powerful voice is Luciano Pavarotti, a worldwide known Italian operatic tenor. Many say the best ever. He is known for reaching the C high note (C5) in the opera song "Nessun Dorma". The other one playing piano with the white hat is Lucio Dalla, an italian singer and author.
Actually he earned the nickname the king of the high C from un fille du regiment where he performed 9 consecutive high C 's . Nessun dorma while a challenging and beautiful aria has been overused and in my opinion there are far greater arias and even neapolitan songs. Vesti La Giubba , Torna a Surriento, una furtiva Lacrima , La Donna E Mobile all are better than the overly used and popularised nessun dorma
Continuo ad essere dell'idea che senza traduzione si perde la poesia della nostra musica
As for Pavarotti, you probably heard his Nessun Dorma. He's a world known opera singer
I am super happy that you have listened to this song, it is a milestone of Italian music!
Keep going, I love you reactions!
What I love about this song is that it's a song of love, but not a love song
Questa canzone la puoi sentire 100 volte e sempre ti emoziona e ti fa felice
Bocelli used to be a student of Pavarotti. Pavarotti is world renowned because he used to host an international event in Modena called Pavarotti and Friends. Anyone famous at that time in world was on that stage, from Bono U2 to Michael Jackson to James Brown.
Pavarotti founded a school for lirica singers in Modena.
Lucio Dalla is from Bologna, near by Modena, he is one of the most famous singer. Now are both unfortunately death.
Lucio plays Piano and written text, Luciano is big man with powerfull voice one of the most greatest lirica voice of all time ;)
Pavarotti was a legend and it goes without saying, but Lucio Motherfucking Dalla was a true genius.
This is a poetic song.. make cry..
Translation Italian - English:
Qui dove il mare luccica - Here, where the sea shines

Poi si schiarisce la voce - Then he clears his throat
E ricomincia il canto - And starts over his song.
Te voglio bene assaje - I love you so much
Ma tanto tanto bene sai - So, so very much, you know

Nella bianca scia di un'elica - In the white trail of a propeller
Sentì il dolore nella musica - He felt the pain in the music
Si alzò dal pianoforte - He stood up from the piano
Ma quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvola - But when he saw the moon getting out from a cloud
Gli sembrò più dolce anche la morte - He thought the death would be sweeter
Guardò negli occhi la ragazza - He looked in the girl's eyes
Quegli occhi verdi come il mare - Those eyes green as the sea
Poi all'improvviso uscì una lacrima - Then suddenly she shead a tear
E lui credette di affogare - And he believed he would drown

Che con un po' di trucco e con la mimica - Than with a little make-up and facial expressions
Puoi diventare un altro - You can be someone else
Ma due occhi che ti guardano - But two eyes that stare at you
Così vicini e veri - So close and so true

Ti volti e vedi la tua vita - You turn around and see your life
Come la scia di un'elica - As the trail of a propeller

Anzi si sentiva già felice - Anyway, he felt just happy
E ricominciò il suo canto - And he started over his song

Ma tanto tanto bene sai - So, so very much, you know
È una catena ormai - It's a chain, by now
Che scioglie il sangue nelle vene sai - That melts the blood in the veins.. you know..
we are beyond music, we are in the essence of Italian poetry accompanied by music
Lucio Dalla,what magical artist,what precious jewel he was! 🙏💎💘
I knew this will come up!They are both divine👌bravo Ang!you're now immersed to beauty of Italian Culture,these are not even the half.👏🤛😘
You're now ready for opera reactions! If it feels dawnting, try not to feel intimidated, it's simply theatre plays which are orchestrated and sung throughout
Meraviglia delle. Meraviglie canzone strepitosa scritta da Lucio Dalla. E interpretata insieme al grandissimo Luciano Pavarotti ...non si può dimenticare questo capolavoro...bravissimi. .
This is one of the masterpieces of the Italian music. Ok, here the youngest don't usually listen this, I as well don't have this in my playlists, but it's undeniable that this is an historical song and performance
Honestly? Lucio is so so so precious. Lucio alone with no other voices around is unreachable by himself. Pavarotti has amazing voice, sure... Lucio as a majestic soul though and... as long as Caruso is chanting by heart... Lucio is way more than perfection at it. He own it. CIAO LUCIO! ♥️
Ciao Lucio e grazie!
you are the best... sincerly... you love the singer
Brividi! Grandissimi musicisti, grandissime voci, grandissimi artisti italiani! Applausi! Ammirazione senza limiti!
An amazing song by two amazing artists who have sadly departed, singing about another Italian great singer, also departed. The one you like best is not Lucio, but Luciano Pavarotti, the most acclaimed opera singer of the century. Lucio, on the other hand, is an extremely talented singer-songwriter that Italians love with a passion.
Angelo, I have "bought your cup of coffee" and requested a song of you to react to more than 9 times, but to no avail. I'm starting to take it personal (smile).
A bit of translation to better understand:
Here, where the sea glitters
And the wind blows hard
Upon an old terrace
Before the bay of "Surriento"
A man hugs a girl
After she wept
Then he clears his throat
And he starts singing again
"Te vogl' bene assaje" (I love you so much)
"Ma tanto tanto bene, sai" (So very, very much, you know)
"E' 'na catena ormai" (It's a bond now)
"Che scioglie il sangue dint' 'e 'vvene sai" (That melts my blood into my veins, you know)
He saw the lights in the middle of the sea
He thought of the nights there in America
But they were just the fishing lights
In the white wake of a propeller
He felt the pain in the music
He got away from the piano
But when he saw the moon coming out of a cloud
Even death felt sweeter
He looked the girl in the eyes
Those eyes, green like the sea
Then suddenly a tear rolled down
And he thought he was drowning
"Te vogl' bene assaje" (I love you so much)
"Ma tanto tanto bene, sai" (So very, very much, you know)
"E' 'na catena ormai" (It's a bond now)
"Che scioglie il sangue dint' 'e 'vvene sai" (That melts my blood into my veins, you know)
The power of the opera
Where every tragedy is a fake
And with a little makeup and with your gestures
you can become someone else
But two eyes looking at you
So close and so true
They make you forget the lyrics
They confuse your thoughts
So all becomes very small
Even the nights there in America
You turn around and see your life
Like the wake of a propeller
Oh, yes, it's your life ending...
But he didn't think so much about it
Rather he felt happy already
And he started singing again:
"Te vogl' bene assaje" (I love you so much)
"Ma tanto tanto bene, sai" (So very, very much, you know)
"E' 'na catena ormai" (It's a bond now)
"Che scioglie il sangue dint' 'e 'vvene sai" (That melts my blood into my veins, you know)
We miss them so much... Lucio, Luciano 💔
You make us dreaming... Thanks Ang 🇮🇹♥️😘
"ma sì...è la vita che finisce ma lui non ci pensò poi tanto..." Due grandi Maestri che non sono più con noi, ma sempre dentro di noi.
The man standing with the voice you liked so much is Luciano Pavarotti, one of the greatest tenors. Lucio Dalla who sings and plays on the piano is the one who wrote this beautiful song, as well as many others, which I recommend reading the translation to understand how much poetry there is besides music ...
Thank you for your reaction, i mean it! 😊✨I'm glad you can appreciate this form of art, 'italian bel canto', lyrics, poetry, marvelous powerful expressive voices... Music for the soul, really.
Thank you!✨
Mio Dio, 'Caruso', questo è il massimo!! Questa canzone è preziosa, custoduscila con cura!
Angelo, Lucio Dalla is the guy at the piano, is considered one of the top Italian singer songwriters of all times. He died 9 years ago leaving us a lot of beautiful songs, real poetry, not cheesy lyrics. Great musician he played the clarinet and use to be very ironic about himself and even if quiet and reserved he's buit very strong bonds with many of his collegues. The tenor here is of course the great Luciano Pavarotti who comes from the same Italy region of Lucio Dalla and here sings the songs interpreting Enrico Caruso, the neapoletan tenor who lived between the 19th and 20th centuries. Besides the song being one of the most beautiful ones of the last century here you can easily feel the raw emotion in Pavarottiì's voice. I have got used to reaction mode and interruptions etc yet this time pauses have bothered me a bit (no offense). I am glad you felt the power of this song and performance.
Thanks ANG .... Keep it up, you are spreading Italian culture around the world, you are showing an open mind. THANK YOU for what you do, a 67-year-old man who listens to all ethnic musical genres tells you - Grazie ANG.... Continua così, stai facendo diffusione di cultura italiana nel mondo, dimostri una mente aperta. GRAZIE per ciò che fai, te lo dice un uomo di 67 anni che ascolta ogni genere etnico musicale
The amazing voice of Pavarotti
About the missing out, I think about it too. We in Italy are used to hear English masterpieces but the opposite is not true. So I always think "shit they're missing out on x, y, z, poor them". And then I think "shit I must be missing out on so much masterpieces all over the world, poor me".
Ps. Caruso was an old italian opera singer, the song is from his POV
Hai fatto un bel salto dal metal alla lirica rocckettara
You are a Wise man ! You are in right ...world Is full of good music...and Italy not last country in this art...
I have goosebumps every time I listen Caruso, this song OMG I can't describe my feelings. I'm so happy and thankful that you're into Italian music, thank you so much for this. I realized that I didn't subscribe to your channel yet, so I did right now!
Mamma mia! Capolavoro! Super fantastic!
Listen to Pavarotti singing this alone with English captions. You may be about to enter the rabbit hole that is Pavarotti. Pavarotti has the ability to give you goosebumps and cry. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Lucio and Luciano are not with us anymore...I imagine them singing this song up there with the angels...Thank you for reacting to our beautiful italian music
Miserere (Zucchero and Pavarotti), Miss Sarajevo (Bono and Pavarotti), Le rondini (Lucio Dalla)
Do you know how Pavarotti's collaboration with pop singers was born? The same day the success of Andrea Bocelli was born. Bocelli recorded the demo of "Zucchero - Miserere", to make Pavarotti listen to him and convince him to sing it.
Due grandi artisti che adesso cantano insieme in cielo.
Min. 3:10 really? You don't know that the man with great voice is LUCIANO PAVAROTTI? One of the greatest Tenor ever!!! Everybody knows him.
Look at video Pavarotti with James Brown
Simply a Masterpiece! They were the first singers to blend classical music and pop...all the others followed! Eg. Bocelli, il divo, il volo etc... you must see Luciano and friends...many concerts done with several international artists. Way to go!
Quando avrai un pò di tempo libero cerca in rete e ascolta Luciano Pavarotti in "Nessun Dorma".
Lucio Dalla is the author of this magnificent song (boh music and lyrics), Luciano Pavarotti is one of the greatest tenor of all times.
I really recommend that you listen to a version of Caruso sung by Luciano Pavarotti alone. When he was doing his "Luciano and friends" shows, I always felt that he held back to not discourage his singing partners who, unlike him with a classical and opera voice, where mostly pop and rock singers.
Pavarotti's Song Buongiorno Is a spot's Song of Nutella and The Concert Three Tenori (Pavarotti Carrera Domingo a New York)
Lucio Dalla (the one at the piano) was a great Italian singer-songwriter and Luciano Pavarotti was one of the greatest Opera singer in history and a really big and famous international star known all over the world and also in the USA... you never heard of him?! Even Ron Howard made a documentary about him (check it out, it's a really amazing movie)!
R.I.P. Lucio and Luciano. We Miss you so much 🥺
Another great italian songwriter is francesco guccini, he wrote many beautiful and maeningfull pieces like " shomer ma mi llaillah", various "canzoni di notte" (night'song - exspecially first and second night'song), "Auschwitz" or song of the child in the wind, "cristoforo colombo", "ulysses", "antènor", "canzone per un'amica"(song for a friend) and many others that deserve an auction and a reaction
Pavarotti en su mejor momento, que voz tan genial, es por su brillo, naturalidad, facilidad de agudos, sublime
Two sacred monsters of Italian music sing together a wonderful song, Your next step is to have a full immersion year in Italy and learn Italian lang :D
ok....ready to react to the song that would have won "Eurovision Song Contest 2020" HANDS DOWN, if it wasn't suspendend for covid? The song is "Fai Rumore" by Diodato. Listen it full volume, the chorus will give goosebumps , the highest you ever had. Oh and look at the lyrics too. Very clever lyrics, hard to see such original and clever lyrics on a ending love story nowadays. The song, who won the Sanremo Festival, was performed in an incredible shot inside an empty ancient romans arena like Coliseum, "Arena di Verona", during the lockdown to fortify national spirit in those hard days. You can check both the officila video or the live inside the empty arena, both are incredible
You should visit Italy a day. You could fall in love with this country ^^
OOO I haven't seen this performance! Wow! Is Pavarotti singing in a higher register? I'm sure you have found out by now but...Lucio is the piano player and composer, Luciano is the "big guy". I love Lucio too. This is a very unusual performance from Luciano, he is clearly experimenting with levels of expression that are not used in opera. Here is the story about Andrea Bocelli I read, don't know if it's true. Before Bocelli became famous, he was asked to do a demo tape which his producer would send to Pavorotti. Pavarotti sent back his reply, "You don't need me, you have him!" And so Bocelli got his breakthrough song. The lyrics will only confuse you as they don't spell out who the song is about, or why he is singing it to a "girl". The song is about Enrico Caruso, the opera singer considered the greatest of all by opera singers. At age 48, Enrico learned from his doctors that he was dying. Enrico was very happy in his marriage of 2 yrs to a woman 20 yrs younger than he. Together they had a 2 yr old baby girl. In this song, Enrico is telling his wife how much he loves her and their life together, and that he is dying.
it makes me cry every time. Two legends
Lucio Dalla. Great singer, songwriter and also a one man show. He was so charismatic. Maestro Pavarotti... what can we say? Legend. This song can be easily considered a masterpiece. It's musically enchanting and lyrically offers you huge "palette" of images. Stunning.
🇮🇹🤓 Little correction on your pronunciation: the C in both Italian names, Luciano and Lucio, sounds like the C in "Ciao!" or "Chinese" , not a S sound 👍
The "first guy" wrote this marvelous piece of music, and Luciano, well, he took it to another level.
The American best seller writer Dan Brown said in an interview in Italy that Lucio Dalla is his favourite singer.
Listen to Pavarotti and Zucchero sing "Va Pensiero"... Zucherro has the best gravelly voice...
For most Americans there is nothing else but Rock, Blues or Rap. The world is full of music and we are missing most of it thanks to Label companies and affiliated Radio. Africa is a good place for innovative music you will be surprise at the quality and quantity.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 sono tutti in paradiso a cantare per Dio.
Here we are faced with a masterpiece ... "Caruso". One of the greatest and most beautiful songs ever written in the world. And we are faced with two unique artists of their kind, worldwide. Unfortunately, they are no longer among us. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Thanks so much Ang for reacting to these songs! Goosebumps! this one has me in tears every time. Love your videos man.
My beautiful Emilia (Romagna) in this video ❤ Luciano is the tenor, Lucio wrote this song
Miss both of them so much
Great review bro.
Mamma mia they are fantastics !!!
