Nessun dorma [English translation]

(Calaf, the unknown prince:)

Tíme for wáking!

Tíme for wáking!

You tóo Princéss are sléepless

Shút in your cóld apártments

Wátching the stár rays

Still trémble with afféction

And wíth endúrance...

But my mýstery‿is búried in mé

My real náme shall stáy unknówn!

No, no! Kíssing your móuth tomórrow‿at dáwn

Í shall disclóse‿it, ónly thén!

Only my kíss is bound to bréak the sílence

That mákes you míne.

(Choir of women)

His real náme shall stáy unknówn...

And all of ús, alás, are dóomed to díe!

(Calaf, the unknown prince:)

Do vánish, dárkness! Stars, do sét alréady!

Stars, do sét alréady! When dáwn comes Í shall wín!

Í shall wín! Í sháll wín!
