    Turandot

    by: Andrea Bocelli

    Turandot
    Nessun dorma
    Nessun dorma, nessun dorma!
    Tu pure, o principessa,
    Nella tua fredda stanza,
    Guardi le stelle
    Che tremano d'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 scioglierà il silenzio
    Che ti fa mia!
    (il nome suo nessun saprà!
    E noi dovrem, ahime, morir!)
    Dilegua, o notte! tramontate, stelle!
    All'alba vincero'! no one sleeps! no one sleeps!
    You too, o princess
    In your cold room
    Are watching the stars
    Which tremble with love and hope!
    But my secret lies hidden within me,
    No one shall know my name!
    No no, on your lips I will tell you,
    When daylight will come
    And my kiss shall break
    The silence which makes you mine
    No one shall discover your name!
    And we will be able to die!)
    Depart, oh night! fade away, you stars!
