Perry Como ~ Mr. Saturday Night!

Perry Como In Italy - 1966

Anema e core
I've got a yearning to caress you,
One thought keeps burning in my soul,
A hungry yearning to possess you,
It's far beyond control!
 
I want your love for now, forever,
I want you heart and soul!
 
My life, I'd give to you,
Anema e core . . .
I only live for you,
Anema e core . . .
 
I have but one desire,
And it's to love you,
With all my heart, with all my soul,
My whole life through!
 
From stars I'll make your crown,
And kneel before you,
I pray you'll take my hand,
For I adore you!
 
Open up the doors leading to heaven,
A heaven mine and yours,
Anema e core . . .
 
( Che 'nce dicimmo a'ffá, parole amare
Si 'o bbene po' campá cu nu respiro? )
 
Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore,
Tenimm'ce accusí, anema e core! Translation: Why should we say bitter words to each other, if love can live within a sigh? If you, too, are longing for this love, let’s stay like this, close to each other, heart to heart, body and soul!
