Nessun Dorma

i've tried not to watch the expressions on Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden's faces but maybe it's the roar of the crowd and flawless timing of the applauses that made me decide that this is by far the most amazing performance ever, in a reality show.even his emotional mood, awkwardness and body stiff projection was perfect.A++ for Paul Potts!




The Nessun Dorma :

Il principe ignoto

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 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.

Voci di donne

Il nome suo nessun saprà... E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir!

Il principe ignoto

Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!



Translated from the score:

The Prince Let no one sleep!... Let no one 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!...

The Chorus of women :
No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.

The Prince
Vanish, o night! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!


Gotta watch/listen to different versions of this aria...
