Rondine al nido is a romance and one of the best known works of the Italian composer Vincenzo de Crescenzo, whose music was in the repertoire of Beniamino Gigli, Tito Schipa, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Richard Tucker, Luciano Pavarotti, Luigi Infantino, Ramn Vargas, Robert Dean Smith, Francesco Albanese, among many others.

Written by de Crescenzo in the early 20th century (1926),[1] it deals with lost love. While written and performed as a Neapolitan song, but with lyrics in Italian, it is more like an aria of the late Romantic period, demanding of the singer high intensity, high notes, and excellent breath control.[2] It begins calmly and lightly, and then it becomes a passionate outburst.[2] The second stanza repeats this scheme.[2]

The song was sung by tenor Agostino Castagnola as The Doctor (EMH) portrayed by Robert Picardo in the 13th episode, Virtuoso, of the sixth season of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. The episode was first aired on 26 January 2000 in the United States.[3] The song is performed in Las Vegas at the Bellagio's fountain, which dances to Luciano Pavarotti's version of the song.[4][5]

Every performer interprets the song in his own way and there have been several changes from version to version. The following version is from the booklet of the 1990 album, Carreras Domingo Pavarotti in Concert.

The following list contains all pieces that we could identify, ordered by the name of the composer. All music is either performed by the characters or it is a recording played by the computer. Background music is not taken into account.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard listens to the aria in his ready room during the Battle of Sector 001 in "Star Trek: First Contact", so loud that his tea cup shakes. Riker mistakenly identifies the piece as "Bizet".

Vallon sonore

O ds l'aurore

Je m'en allais chantant, hlas!

Sous tes grands bois chantera-t-il encore,

Le pauvre Hylas?

Berce mollement sur ton sein sublime,

puissante mer, l'enfant de Dindyme.

Frache rame,

Retraite aime,

Contre les feux du jour, hlas!

Quand rendras-tu ton ombre parfume

Au pauvre Hylas?

Berce mollement sur ton sein sublime,

puissante mer, l'enfant de Dindyme.

Humble chaumire,

O de ma mre

Je reus les adieux, hlas!

Reverra-t-il ton heureuse misre,

Le pauvre Hylas?

Berce mollement sur ton sein sublime,

puissante mer, l'enfant....

O echoing valley,

Where, at the break of day,

I once wandered singing, alas!

Will he ever sing again beneath your great woods,

Poor Hylas?

Rock gently upon your sublime breast,

O mighty sea, the child of Dindymus.

O cool bower,

Beloved refuge

From the fires of the day, alas!

When shall you give back your scented shade

To poor Hylas?

Rock gently upon your sublime breast,

O mighty sea, the child of Dindymus.

O humble dwelling,

Where I received

My mother's farewell, alas!

Will he see your happy poverty once more,

Poor Hylas?

Rock gently upon your sublime breast,

O mighty sea, the child....

Sotto la gronda della torre antica

Una rondine amica,

Allo sbocciar del mandorlo tornata.

Ritorna tutti gli anni,

Sempre alla stessa data;

Monti e mare essa varca per tornar.

Solo amore

Quando fuggeva lontano

Speri invano ma non torni pi.

Speri invano ma non torna pi.

Nella penombra dolce della sera

passa la primavera.

Cinguettano le rondini nel volo,

Ebbre di luce e d'aria.

Ed io son triste e solo;

Monti e mare tu non varchi per tornar.

Mia piccina,

fosti tutta la mia vita;

Sei fuggita e non torni pi.

Under the eaves of the ancient tower

A swallow friend,

Has returned at almond blossom time.

It comes back every year,

Always on the same date;

It crosses mountains and sea to return.

Only love

When it flees and goes far away

You hope in vain but it returns no more.

In the sweet shadow of the evening

it passes the spring.

The swallows in flight chirrup,

Drunk on light and air.

And I am sad and alone;

You do not cross mountains and sea to return.

My little one,

you were all my life;

You have fled and return no more.

His nose should pant and his lip should curl,

His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl,

His bosom should heave and his heart should glow,

And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow.

His foot should stamp, and his throat should growl,

His hair should twirl, and his face should scowl;

His eyes should flash, and his breast protrude,

And this should be his customary attitude, his attitude, his attitude, his attitude.

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,

I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical

From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,

I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,

About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news, (bothered for a rhyme)

With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;

I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:

In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;

I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,

I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,

In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;

I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,

I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!

Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore, (bothered for a rhyme)

And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,

And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:

In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",

When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a Javelin,

When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,

And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",

When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,

When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery -

In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy - (bothered for a rhyme)

You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,

Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;

But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

In TNG: "The Ensigns of Command", a string quartet consisting of Data (violin), Miles O'Brien (cello) and two more crew members of the Enterprise-D (violin and viola) can be heard playing the first movement. Captain Jean-Luc Picard later listens to an audio recording of the second movement (Andante) that Beverly Crusher made as he wasn't able to attend the concert.HTML5 audio not enabled/supported.
