Write to Me From Naples
Love Letters From Naples: Elvis's Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
Write to me from Naples;
Request to receive a letter from Naples.
Tell me all that's new.
Ask for updates and information about recent events or developments.
I loved you in Naples
Expressing strong affection for the listener while in Naples.
More than words can say.
Emphasizing intense feelings, surpassing the ability to articulate in words.
Call me, cara mia,
Endearing term ("my dear") used to address the listener.
Tell me all that's new.
Request for updates and news reiterated.
Write to me from Naples.
Repetition of the plea to receive a letter from Naples.
Keep my heart with you.
Asking the recipient to hold onto the speaker's heart metaphorically.
I can hear a mandolino;
Noticing the sound of a mandolin, a traditional Italian instrument.
Softly it cries
Describing the gentle, sorrowful sound of the mandolin.
While I raise a glass of vino,
As the speaker raises a glass of wine, they praise the listener's eyes.
Praising your eyes.
Expressing admiration for the listener's eyes during a moment of drinking.
Since we said a rivederci,
Since the farewell ("goodbye"), the speaker's heart has been saddened.
My poor heart cries
Expressing emotional pain and longing since parting.
Just for a letter from you.
The speaker yearns for a letter from the listener.
Write to me from Naples;
Repetition of the request for a letter from Naples.
Tell me all that's new.
Reiteration of the plea for updates and news.
Write to me from Naples.
Repetition of the plea to receive a letter from Naples.
Keep my heart with you.
Request to keep the speaker's heart close while apart.
Please come back.
Plea for the listener to return.
Come back to me.
Request for the listener to come back to the speaker.
