This is not right. This is a re-imagining of the original song to make the story seem more romantic. It is not romantic! NESSUM DORMA translates to “No one sleeps!”
Here is the actual story behind the opera and the actual translated words:
The Opera is about an unknown prince who falls in love at first sight with a princess who is cold and cruel and uninterested in him.
She has demanded that all suitors who wish to marry her solve 3 riddles. If one solves it, he can marry her but if he fails, she will behead him. Suitor after suitor tries, fails and is beheaded.
The unknown prince solves all 3. Unfortunately the princess is repelled by his looks and wants nothing to do with him. So he gives her one last chance to rebuff him. He gives her until the morning to guess his name and if she does, she won't have to marry him. If she doesn't, she will have to submit to him willingly and without recourse.
She does not want this and commands all her servants to discover his name or be beheaded in the morning.
The prince watches the night progress with no one figuring out his name.
He hears the servants shout in despair that no one is allowed to sleep until his name is figured out because the Princess will have them all killed in the morning if they fail.
As the servants cry out, the unknown prince urges the dawn to hurry and come so he can marry her, press his mouth on hers and possess her body and soul!
He shouts, "Vanish oh night. Fade, you stars. I will win! I will win! I will win!" ~~~
Below are the actual lyrics to the song:
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.)
Nice rendition!. I remember the movie where the bad guy presses his cigarette lighter and his car explodes during the finale of this song. Fitting. Watch out , deep state, we are coming for YOU!!!!!!
Turn it up.
