Nessun Dorma
Giacomo Pucini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diró
Quando la luce splenderá!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio
Che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
cll'alba vinceró!
Vinceró, vinceró!
These lyrics are from Giacomo Puccini's opera, Turandot. The aria "Nessun dorma" is sung by Calaf, the prince who is determined to win the heart of the cold-hearted and distant Princess Turandot. Calaf sings about his love for Turandot, even though he knows that she will not love him back. He sings that while she is alone in her cold chamber, looking at the trembling stars, he keeps his name a secret. He promises to reveal it only when the dawn appears and the light shines. He hopes that with his kiss, he will break the silence that makes her his.
The chorus "Nessun dorma" means "None shall sleep," and it represents the urgency and passion of Calaf's love for Turandot. The phrase "Vincerò" means "I will win," and it represents the triumph of love and passion over fear and intimidation. Calaf wants to break the curse that Turandot puts on her suitors, where they must answer three riddles correctly, or they will face execution. He is determined to win her hand, even though it may cost him his life. This aria is one of the most famous in opera history and is often sung at events such as the Olympics, World Cup, and Super Bowl.

None shall sleep!
Even you, oh 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!
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!
