10h · Remember that time POTUS entertained us with that opera song at the WH?
It’s from the end of the movie "The Sum of All Fears”.
During that part special ops guys are taking out the cabal. Song is called “Nessum Dorma”, No One Sleeps” and “Vincero” means “I shall win”.
Lyrics of the aria translated to English:
Nobody shall sleep!... Nobody 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!
note in the aria vincero is sung three times
that night Christoper Macchio sang vincero four times
come back to the thread and see my comment below, compare what was sung that evening (link in comment) with a performance (linked in comment) by Pavorotti
