Nessun dorma Nessun dorma Nessun dorma Nessun dorma Tu pure, o Principessa You too, O Princess Nella tua fredda stanza In your cold room Guardi le stelle Look at the stars Che tremano d'amore e di speranza Who tremble with love and hope Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me But my mystery is closed in me Il nome mio nessun saprà My name no one will know No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò No, no, I'll say it on your mouth Quando la luce splenderà When the light will shine Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio And my kiss will dissolve the silence Che ti fa mia That makes you mine (Il nome suo nessun saprà (His name no one will know E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir) And we should, alas, die, die) Dilegua, o notte Leaving, oh night Tramontate, stelle Sunsets, stars Tramontate, stelle Sunsets, stars All'alba vincerò At dawn I will win Vincerò Win Vincerò Win
My aunt passed away last Sunday… we burried her this afternoon. She was a lyric singer at the opera…. This song was the last of the ceremony today…. She lived surrounded by applauses, she left surrounded by applauses… so emotional.
This wrecked me; Nessun Dorma was my father's favorite. I miss him so terribly ten years on, but every time I hear this it brings him alive again, if only for a few precious minutes. Thank you for this wonderful performance!
Rafael Rojas and Luciano Pavarotti are the only renditions of Nessun Dorma that very literally bring me to tears EVERY SINGLE TIME I listen. The passion, th power, the heights all combine in a heavenly blend. I'm glad this lives on.
I've heard this piece sung by many people before. And beautifully done. But this one move me beyond tears also to know that this man is no longer with us. Rest in peace.♥️🙏
Maybe they simply have no interest in it. That’s how I was many years ago, I would’ve simply walked past it, it just wasn’t my thing. Even if I had liked the singing and the music, I didn’t like it enough to stop and watch/listen. Think about it. There are probably some activities or skills that many people adore, things that you might not find interesting at all.
It is impossible for me to understand how anyone can simply ignore the beauty of this and pass by without stopping to enjoy it. Yet, it also helps me see why so many stupid and terrible things happen in this world. His voice is marvellous.
I know! Some people are in their own world. This is a breathtaking performance. But then I see someone that surprises me in the crowd watching on who makes up for all the ones who just walk on by like in the flash mob performance of Do-Re-Mi at the Antwerp train station when the camera caught a young man in the background who looked like a biker (no offense in the least, just the longish hair and the black attire) who was really liking the performance. It was the sweetest!💓🎵💓
So pure and bright. Mr. Rojas seems to perform it so casually and effortlessly. If it brings a tear to your eye, it is the real deal. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you Sir. I can only hope to someday see you perform in person.
This is the first version of Nessun dorma I've ever heard. The first time I heard it, I was clapping at the screen. My GOD, what a voice! I don't know why it brings me to tears at the end, but it does. Every.single.time. Music my soul feels and my eyes can hear.
Haha I nearly clapped too. Look up "Paul Potts First Audition" if you want emotion. He was a car phone salesman that went on Britains Got Talent, no one thought he could pull this off, but my god did he!
@@alexrailton2067 Not trying to be mean or something but I find Potts' version quite bland. It's just too clear that he hasn't got any classical training and because of it his performance just hasn't clicked for me, it was a bit too shaky and his vibratto was uneven. Of course respect for him for being so brave to sing it live while not being an opera singer but I just couldn't find it enjoyable because of his poor technique.
@@jimihendrix1998 First, the performer in this flash mob is Rafael Rojas, not Paul Potts or whoever that is. Second, I've heard Pavarotti and numerous others perform this since. Mr. Rojas is still my favorite. I like who I like, period.
@@justinekenny2151 Pavarotti is overrated. He's the one most people choose because he's the most "mainstream" opera singer. I will always stand by my opinion, that Pavarotti's voice wasn't good for Nessun Dorma because his voice was too bright and too light, while Nessun Dorma is suited for heavier voices. That's why I prefer Corelli's version when it comes to older singers and Kaufmann and Alagna in newer generation.
Love this song,and this version gave me goosebumps.Sometimes the flash mob versions are as good if not better but all credit to this tenor he's fantastic.
when you have the chance to hear that kind of voice in direct in a normal room it s just mindblowing this redefine your perseption of singing and voice .
I'm very sad to hear he left. À wonderful voice, the emotion takes me everytime I hear him sing. I have never feel more emotion listening a voice. This makes me cry every time i watch it. Absolutely beautiful. May you rest in peace Rafael.
Nessun Dorma! One of my all time favorites!! Who is the man...what an absolute beautiful and strong voice, amazing! I love how he stands there with his hands casually in his jacket, like i's nothing! Amazing everyone with his magical voice, and after that he casually walks away...brilliant!!
Pochi minuti fa ascoltavo Pavarotti con Nessun dorma Ogni volta che ascolto il maestro Luciano Pavarotti e sempre un emozione ❤ Ho appena trovato questo video 😭 di gioia! L'interpretazione più bella di Nessun Dorma😍 Grazie Maestro❤Grazie Qualcuno conosce il nome?

Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma
Tu pure, o Principessa
You too, O Princess
Nella tua fredda stanza
In your cold room
Guardi le stelle
Look at the stars
Che tremano d'amore e di speranza
Who tremble with love and hope
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
But my mystery is closed in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà
My name no one will know
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
No, no, I'll say it on your mouth
Quando la luce splenderà
When the light will shine
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
And my kiss will dissolve the silence
Che ti fa mia
That makes you mine
(Il nome suo nessun saprà
(His name no one will know
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir)
And we should, alas, die, die)
Dilegua, o notte
Leaving, oh night
Tramontate, stelle
Sunsets, stars
Tramontate, stelle
Sunsets, stars
All'alba vincerò
At dawn I will win
Vincerò
Win
Vincerò
Win
That's Puccini for you!

Kesinlikle
Not even Mario Lanza
Thank you so much for sharing Mr. Rojas' talent with us. May he rest in peace as he now sings with the angels.
I've heard this piece sung by many people before. And beautifully done. But this one move me beyond tears also to know that this man is no longer with us. Rest in peace.♥️🙏
How can people just walk past this performance....have they no soul ?...that was magnificent

I’m 58 now, and I like this kind of stuff now. I don’t play or sing, but I would stop and enjoy this 🙂
I've been electronica all my life and always will be, but god damn would I stop and enjoy this!
There's something extraordinary about that last note
@@acp865 Your argument falls flat if people don't stop to assess whether they like it or not. Think about it.

Amazing best singer iv heard sing that song
Could make the toughest man in history cry. Absolutely beautiful
I love this ,people should sing more often in public when they have ability ,brings so much joy to people
Too much pressure
Its true, really beautiful!!!!
That is truly the best I have ever heard it sang I was so sorry to hear he had passed away, a absolutely wonderful Tenor.
Great performance. Rest in peace, master. Your voice will remain forever
This brought me to tears, just amazing.

Looking music straight in the eyes. This is fearless
The choir walking by was such a nice touch
Excellent! I love Puccini and I love flash mobs. And what a voice he had!
Why is this guy not on the stage and famous???????
This is one of my favorite pieces of music. This was such a beautiful performance; it brought tears to my eyes.
I’m just in tears. No words. Beautiful.
I did not think it possible for someone to sing this better than the maestro Luciano but damn sir you did it justice tears in eyes
Amazing what Opera can do to a soul it touches it so soft .
None can beat pavarotti
