NESSUN DORMA
Puccini: Turandot
Calaf:
Nessun dorma! NEssun dorma!
Tu pure, O Principessa
nella tua fredda stanza
guardi le stelle che tremano
s'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
il nome mio nessun sapra!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro,
quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera
il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Voci lontane:
Il nome suo nessun sapra
A noi dovrem, ahime, morir, Morir!
Calaf:
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero!
Vincero! Vincero!
English Translation:
Calaf:
No one must sleep! NO one must sleep!
You too, oh Princess,
in your frigid room
you are watching the stars which trmble
with love and with hope!
But my secret is within me,
no one shall discover my name!
No, no I shall speak it only on your lips,
when daylight shiines forth.
And my kiss will break
the silence which makes you mine!
Distant voices:
No one will discover his name.
And we shall have to die, alas. Die!
Calaf:
Oh night, depart! Stars, set!
Stars, ste! At dawn I shall win!
I shall win! Ishall win!
