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!
