He soon gained fame due to the power and strength of his voice. The young tenor earned valuable experience and significant recognition while touring on the invitation of soprano Joan Sutherland, making his 1965 U.S. debut in Miami, Florida on her recommendation. His position was solidified in the years between 1966 and 1972, during which Pavarotti first appeared at Milan's seminal La Scala, at other major European houses, and, in 1968, at NYC's Metropolitan Opera. He received great acclaim, particularly working well with Joan Sutherland.
By the mid-70s, the tenor became known worldwide, famed for the brilliance and beauty of his tone, especially into the upper register. His "high C" became one of his trademarks. The late 70s and 80s saw Pavarotti making significant appearances in the world's opera houses and establishing himself as one of the great singers of the era.
Popular stardom came at the 1990 World Cup in Italy with the performances of "Nessun Dorma" (from Turandot) and as one of The Three Tenors in their famed first concert held on the eve of the final match of the tournament (repeated at later Cups). Pavarotti sang together with fellow star tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and brought to the much wider audience hits previously confined to the opera world. Appearances in advertisements and with pop icons in concerts around the world furthered his influence. Pavarotti always maintained his identity as an opera star, unlike many crossover artists.
The later years brought a decline in ability to perform on stage due to a weight gain and lack of mobility. Pavarotti's final appearance in an opera was at the Met in March 2004. The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy saw him performing for the last time. Pavarotti sang Nessun Dorma, with the crowd as its Chorus, and got a thunderous standing ovation. On September 6, 2007, he died at home in Modena from pancreatic cancer.

Luciano Pavarotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Miserere, misero me
Però brindo alla vita
Ma che mistero, è la mìa vita
Che mistero
Sono un peccatore dell'anno ottantamila
Un menzognero
Ma dove sono e cosa faccio
Come vivo?
Vivo nell'anima del mondo
Perso nel vivere profondo (ehi)
Miserere, misero me
Però brindo alla vita
Io sono il santo che ti ha tradito
Quando eri solo
E vivo altrove e osservo il mondo
Dal cielo
E vedo il mare e le foreste
E vedo me che
Vivo nell'anima del mondo
Perso nel vivere profondo
Miserere, misero me
Però brindo alla vita
Se c'è una notte buia abbastanza
Da nascondermi, nascondermi
Se c'è una luce, una speranza
Sole magnifico che splendi dentro me
Dammi la gioia di vivere
Che ancora non c'è
Miserere, miserere
Quella gioia di vivere
Che forse ancora non c'è
The lyrics of Luciano Pavarotti's song "Luciano Pavarotti" express a sense of introspection and self-evaluation by the singer. The opening line, "Miserere, miserere," means "have mercy, have mercy" in Italian, and is repeated throughout the song. The singer reflects on his own life, describing it as a mystery, and himself as a sinner and a liar. However, he also speaks of the beauty of life and the importance of enjoying it, saying "Però brindo alla vita," meaning "but I toast to life."
The singer questions his own existence, asking where he is and what he is doing, but ultimately comes to the realization that he is a part of the world's soul, lost in its profound living. He sees himself as a saint who has betrayed others in the past, but now observes the world from the sky. He sees the beauty around him, including the sea and the forests, but also sees himself as lost in the world's soul.
The song ends with the singer asking for the joy of living to be given to him, even if it doesn't exist yet. Overall, the lyrics of "Luciano Pavarotti" are a mix of reflection, self-evaluation, and a call to enjoy the beauty of life.

@@jamesobrien704 None shall sleep,
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!
