Ci Vediamo a Capri ( We'Ll Meet Again In Capri )
From my northern city full of rain...
I came to this splendid island of Capri,
and through the blue eyes of Emily,
that constantly remind me of that southern sky,
I saw the beautiful expression of a true smile,
a smile that drove this man insane!
" Ci vediamo a Capri, "
she said to mer sadly...
trembling and trying not to cry;
and though the April' breeze was so warm,
she shivered...reaching for my hand to hold!
Oh, Emily that wasn't a goodbye!
O island so full of fragrant, pretty roses...
waiting for those passionate lovers:
I must depart from you with sadness,
hoping that tomorrow I will be back!
Oh, sweet darling...oh, lovely Emily:
I won't be gone for long...from you and Capri!
" Ci vediamo a Capri, "
I told her with an emotion, so hurt and deep,
that brought me to tears...until I couldn't breath!
" Ci vediamo a Capri, "
I said aloud as I caressed her face so soft and young,
a face that I would remember in my Neapolitan song!
" Ci vediamo a Capri," I shouted over the calm sea!
" Ci vediamo a Capri," was my promise to Emily!
