This is a Neapolitan song meaning "Heart and Soul" That has been recorded by everyone from Perry Como and Dean Martin to the great tenor Beniamino Gigli. I have always loved singing it and hearing it. My favorite version is Perry Como's.

My life I'd give for 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 ce dicimmo a fa parole amare,
si ‘o bbene po’ campà cu nu respiro?
Si smanie pure tu pe’ chist’ammore,
tenimmoce accussì… anema e core!
Tenimmoce accussì: anema e core…
