The Three Tenors Lyrics

Nessun dorma)
Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle
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
(Il nome suo nessun saprà
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir)
Dilegua, o notte
Tramontate, stelle
Tramontate, stelle
All'alba vincerò
Vincerò
Vincerò
The song "Nessun Dorma" was composed by Giacomo Puccini as part of his opera Turandot. In The Three Tenors' performance of the song, the lyrics begin with "Nessun dorma," which means "none shall sleep." The lyrics continue as a declaration of love as the singer speaks to a princess who is looking at the trembling stars through the window of her cold room. The singer admits that his true identity is a mystery that only he knows, and he will only reveal it when the light shines upon him. He professes his love and that his kiss will break the silence that keeps them apart.
