"Caruso" is a song originally written by Lucio Dalla, but Julio Iglesias recorded a famous version of it in Italian language. The lyrics describe a man standing on a terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento, embracing a woman who had been crying. He begins to sing to her, telling her how much he loves her and how their love is a bond that runs deep. He looks out to sea and sees the lights of ships, thinking about his life in America and feeling homesick. When he looks back at the woman, he notices tears in her eyes and feels like he is drowning. He thinks about the power of music and how it can make the biggest problems seem small. Eventually, he feels happy and continues to sing about his love for the woman and how it flows through his veins. The story behind the song is actually inspired by the life and tragic death of the famous Italian tenor Enrico Caruso. The song tells a fictional tale of Caruso's thoughts and emotions as he performs in Italy, lamenting his separation from his love and feeling the power and importance of his music. It is a deeply emotional and romantic song, imbued with a sense of longing and a celebration of the beauty and power of love and music.
