Nessun Dorma Giacomo Puccini Download
“If I kiss you, will they shoot me?”, “No. But I will if you don’t”. That’s the last few qoutes from the movie “Chasing Liberty”. I just watched that movie, and if you want more details, see my movie blog. 
Then the movie ends with NESSUN DORMA fades in the background.
My first classical music post was “Flight of the Bumblebee” which I saw from the kids’ show “Barney and Friends” and now this is my second musical post - Nessun Dorma.
All About Nessun Dorma
Nessun Dorma is an act, a final act of an opera called Turandot, by Giacomo Puccini (Luciano Pavarroti also has a cover of it, he’s the only opera singer i know, he’s dead).
Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about Nessun Dorma:
Nessun dorma (English edition: None shall sleep tonight)[1] is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Turandot,[2] and is 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. However, any man who wishes to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles. If he fails, he will be beheaded.
Nessun Dorma Lyrics
I’m not sure if I can offer a dowload of this music, because I do have a collection of classical music, but no opera. But to make it up, here’s Nessun Dorma Lyrics as performed by Luciano Pavarotti, both in Italian and English. You don’t have to use any online translator.
ITALIAN;
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o, Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelle
che fremono 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 sciogliera il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
(Il nome suo nessun sapra!…
e noi dovrem, ahime, morir!)
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All’alba vincero!
vincero, vincero!
ENGLISH
None must sleep! None must sleep!
And you, too, Princess,
in your cold room,
gaze at the stars
which tremble with love
and hope!
But my mystery is locked within me,
no-one shall know my name!
No, no, I shall say it as my mouth
meets yours when the dawn is breaking!
And my kiss will break the silence
which makes you mine!
(No-one shall know his name,
and we, alas, shall die!)
Vanish, o night!
Fade, stars!
At dawn I shall win
Enjoy!
