Nessun Dorma

(アルバム： 'Til The End Of Forever - 2005)

[Only the man who answers her riddles can marry the icy princess Turandot; those who fail die. Calaf, a prince from another land, has fallen in love with the beautiful Turandot and answered the riddles. Though by law she must marry him, Turandot pleads to be spared: only if she answers his riddle – his name.]

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o princepessa
Nella tua freda stanza
Guardi le stelle che tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiusoin me
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro
Quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera!
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All 'alba vincero!

[English translation:]

[No One's Sleeping!]

No one's sleeping! No one's sleeping!
This evening, icy princess
Perhaps in your cold chambers
Watch all the bright stars
That tremble both with loving and with desire
I keep my secret locked inside
No one shall ever know my name!
No, no ! When our two mouths touch, she'll learn it
When the morning light shines forth!
And then my kisses will dissolve
Her silence and she will be mine!
May this night end!
May all the stars set!
And may all the stars set!
When dawn breaks, I shall win!
