hi chico, i have been listening to this song since i was a small child(1953)and my favourite version is gigli's. enrico caruso did it before him and i must confess, i don' t know of gino becchi. you have the words right except for a few:
vorrei baciar i tuoi capelli neri le labbra tue e gli occhi tuoi severi vorrei morir con te angel di dio o bella innamorata, tesor mio. Qui sotto il vidi ieri a passeggiare e lo sentivo al solito cantar:
and at the very end the words are:
stringimi, o cara, stringimi al tuo cuore, fammi ecc.
and you are right, it is one of the most beautiful/haunting songs ever written. that' s what i told luciano pavarotti in person in 1978 at a time when he was sing only operatic pieces.
