I have tried to get the best possible sound from these old recordings and, just for effect, have added applause at the beginning and end.
I've created a playlist of the "Great Recordings" videos that I hope to steadily add to and if you wanted to listen to them all the link to the playlist is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwIuFmWuGenqvDYORPncxOSyn7Y6Vy_Zc
An English language version of the Caruso recording is as follows;
Do you see the furious billows abating
and will my beloved be faithfully waiting?
She wept when we parted, so sweet and kind-hearted.
When tossed by the tempest my vessel is battered,
I stay on my course though my spirit is shattered,
defying the anger descending on me.
Confer with your devils in lightning and thunder
and though what you find is the ship going under,
no horror will stop me from sailing the sea;
no, no, no, no, no horror will stop me sailing the sea.
And though what you find is the ship going under,
no horror will stop him sailing the sea.
I fly with my boat through the wind and the weather,
we struggle and suffer the danger together;
my ears always ringing with songs I love singing.
I sing the old songs that we sang when I met you,
your kisses, your laughter, I never forget you
nor all of those beautiful things you have said.
Now tell me what destiny may have in store
and say when the grim reaper will come by and call
for no fear and no terror will enter my head;
no, no, no, no, no fear and no terror will enter my head.
CHORUS
No fear and no terror will enter his head.
