| Wish I'd been there! I guess you mean Salvatore Cardillo's "Catari, catari", a song written in the early 20th century for Caruso, with words by Ricardo Cordiferro. JW recorded it years ago, I didn't know he still played it, and I don't know if a guitar version is published. |

Catari, Catari, why do you tell me
only words of bitterness,
why only things that torment me
Catari?
Don't forget that once I gave you my heart,
Catari, don't forget!
Catari, Catari, why do you say
these things that make me suffer?
You never think of my pain,
you never think if it, you don't care.
Ungrateful heart,
you wrenched my life from me
and now it's all over,
you no longer think of me
If that's the right one these are the original words, sometimes called "Ungrateful Heart" ("Core 'ngrato"). You'll find many tenors have sung it. |
