Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle
Che tremano d'amore e di speranza

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nessun Dorma, a song sung by many artists including Bono/Brian Eno/Dolores O'Riordan/Jovanotti/Luciano Pavarotti/Meat Loaf/Michael Bolton/The Edge, portray a sense of yearning and hope for love. The opening lines "Nessun dorma" which translates to "None shall sleep" sets the mood of a restless night where one's thoughts are consumed by love. The second line "Tu pure, o Principessa" means "You too, oh Princess" which may refer to a loved one, a significant other, or even a higher power that the singer is seeking guidance from.


The following lines describe the Princess in her cold room, watching the trembling stars with love and hope. The singer's mystery is closed within himself and his name will never be known by anyone. The words "sulla tua bocca lo dirò" meaning "I will tell on your lips" suggest that the singer will reveal his mystery to the Princess when the light shines. The final section, "Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio, Che ti fa mia" translates to "And my kiss will break the silence that makes you mine". This implies that the singer is hoping for a reciprocal affection from the Princess. The final lines of "Dilegua, o notte, Tramontate, stelle, Tramontate, stelle, All'alba vincerò, Vincerò, Vincerò" signify a clarity that comes with the dawn and the singer's triumph over his fears and the obstacles that have kept him from his beloved.

@@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!
