Nessun Dorma

Nessun Dorma of course is an aria that was made famous by Luchiano Pavarrotti. It is from Puccini's Turandot. It was also one of Mark Romanak's favorite pieces. That's why it's playing on this blogspot. Below is the English translation for the work ...


Nessun Dorma

Nobody shall sleep!...
Nobody shall sleep!
Even you, o Princess,
in your cold room,
watch the stars,
that tremble with love and with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
my name no one shall know ...
No! ... No! ...
On your mouth I will tell it when the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine! ...
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, oh night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!
