"Nessun dorma" is a famous aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot. It is sung by Calaf ("the unknown prince") who falls in love with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. The aria, whose title translates as "Let no one sleep", follows the proclamation of Princess Turandot that no one shall sleep until they find out the name of the unknown prince. Calaf sings, indicating his certainty that their effort will be in vain. More: Wiki
Italian Text: Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o, Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore e di speranza. Ma il mio mistero è 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! (Il nome suo nessun saprà!... e noi dovrem, ahime, morir!) Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò!
English Translation: 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, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win!
