Song lyrics translated into English
“Nessun dorma” (Italian) (English: “None shall sleep“) is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini‘s opera Turandot and one of the best-known tenor arias in all opera.
It is sung by Calaf, il principe ignoto (the unknown prince), who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. Any man who wishes to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles; if he fails, he will be beheaded. In the aria, Calaf expresses his triumphant assurance that he will win the princess. As the final act opens, it is now night. Calaf is alone in the moonlit palace gardens. In the distance, he hears Turandot‘s heralds proclaiming her command. His aria begins with an echo of their cry and a reflection on Princess Turandot.

(Calaf, the unknown prince:)
None shall sleep!
None shall sleep!
Not even you, oh Princess,
in your cold bedroom,
watching the stars
that tremble with love, and with hope!
But my secret is hidden within me;
no one will know my name!
No, no! On your mouth,
I will say it when the light shines!
And my kiss will dissolve
the silence that makes you mine!
(a chorus of women is heard singing in the distance:)
No one will know his name,
and we will have to, alas,
die, die!
(Calaf, the unknown prince:)
Vanish, o night!
Fade, you stars!
Fade, you stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!

Luciano Pavarotti
Luciano Pavarotti (Italy, Modena, 12 ottobre 1935 – Modena, 6 settembre 2007) was an Italian operatic tenor who also crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most commercially successful tenors of all time.
With Pavarotti & Friends and its many collaborations (to remember the group of the Three Tenors, Luciano Pavarotti with Plácido Domingo and José Carreras) it has consolidated a popularity that has given it worldwide fame even outside the musical sphere.
