Nessun Dorma
This aria is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard. I never get tired of it, I can listen to it again and again and tears always come to my eyes.
I wish I could listen Turandot live and see Placido Domingo play as Calaf. I can't even imagine how I'd feel, I think I'd probably we overwhelmed and start crying while staring in awe.
Italian
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o, Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelle
che tremano d'amore
e di speranza.
Ma il mio mistero é chiuso in me,
il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
(Coro: Il nome suo nessun saprà!...
e noi dovrem, ahimé, morir!)
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!
vincerò, vincerò!
Vincerò!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
English
None must sleep! None must sleep!
And you, too, Princess,
in your cold room,
gaze at the stars
which tremble with love
and hope!
But my mystery is locked within me,
no-one shall know my name!
No, no, I shall say it as my mouth
meets yours when the dawn is breaking!
And my kiss will break the silence
which makes you mine!
(Choir: No-one shall know his name,
and we, alas, shall die!)
Vanish, o night!
Fade, stars!
At dawn I shall win!
You know how I feel right now... and it's all your fault for feeding my hyperactive imagination... After this, you're not allowed to hide anymore, it's more... "interesting" the way we're now... *giggles* I love you, baby, so so so much! <3
