1. O Mio Babbino Caro 

(Sung in Italian)
Oh my dear papa
I like him, he is so handsome. I want to go to Porta Rossa To buy the ring!

Yes, yes, I want to go there! And if my love were in vain,
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio And throw myself in the Arno!
I am pining, I am tormented! Oh God, I would want to die! Father, have pity, have pity! Father, have pity, have pity!

2. Quando M'en Vo (La Boheme)

(Sung in Italian)
When walking alone on the streets, People stop and stare

And examine my beauty
From head to toe
And then I savor the cravings
which from their eyes transpires
And from the obvious charms they perceive
The hidden beauties.
So the scent of desire is all around me,
It makes me happy!
And you who know, who remembers and yearns, You shrink from me?
I know why this is:
You do not want to tell me of your anguish,
But you feel like dying!

3. Mesicku Song to the Moon (Czech)

(Sung in Czechoslovakian)
Moon, high and deep in the sky Your light sees far,

You travel around the wide world, and see into people's homes. Moon, stand still a while
and tell me where is my dear.

Tell him, silvery moon, that I am embracing him. For at least momentarily

let him recall of dreaming of me.
Illuminate him far away,
and tell him, tell him who is waiting for him! If his human soul is, in fact, dreaming of me, may the memory awaken him!
Moonlight, don't disappear, disappear!

 

4. Casta Diva (Norma) 

(Sung in Italian)
Pure Goddess, whose silver covers These sacred ancient plants,
we turn to your lovely face unclouded and without veil... Temper, oh Goddess,
the hardening of you ardent spirits temper your bold zeal,
Scatter peace across the earth Thou make reign in the sky...

 

5. Un Bel Di Vedremo (Madame Butterfly)

(Sung in Italian)
One good day, we will see
Arising a strand of smoke

Over the far horizon on the sea
And then the ship appears
And then the ship is white
It enters into the port, it rumbles its salute.

Do you see it? He is coming!
I don't go down to meet him, not I.
I stay upon the edge of the hill
And I wait a long time
but I do not grow weary of the long wait.

And leaving from the crowded city, A man, a little speck
Climbing the hill.
Who is it? Who is it?

And as he arrives
What will he say? What will he say?
He will call Butterfly from the distance I without answering
Stay hidden
A little to tease him,

A little as to not die.
At the first meeting,
And then a little troubled
He will call, he will call
"Little one, dear wife
Blossom of orange"
The names he called me at his last coming. (To Suzuki)
All this will happen,
I promise you this
Hold back your fears -
I with secure faith wait for him.

​

6. You'll Never Walk Alone

When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm

There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone

 

7. Vissi D' Arte (Tosca)
(Sung in Italian)
I lived for my art, I lived for love,
I never did harm to a living soul!
With a secret hand
I relieved as many misfortunes as I knew of. Always with true faith
my prayer
rose to the holy shrines.
Always with true faith
I gave flowers to the altar.
In the hour of grief
why, why, o Lord,
why do you reward me thus?
I gave jewels for the Madonna’s mantle, and I gave my song to the stars, to heaven, which smiled with more beauty.

In the hour of grief
why, why, o Lord,
ah, why do you reward me thus?

​

8. Nessun Dorma (Turandot) (Sung in Italian)
[CALAF]
No one sleeps! No one sleeps! Even you, oh princess

In your cold room
Look at the stars
That tremble with love and with hope But my mystery is locked inside me No one will know my name!
No, no! On your mouth
I will say it when the light shines

And my kiss will dissolve
The silence that makes you mine [PEOPLE OF PEKING]
No one will know his name
And we, alas, will have to die, to die! [CALAF]
Disappear, night!
Fade away, stars!
Fade away, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win! I will win!

9. Love is a Rebellious Bird (sung in French) [Carmen]
Love is a rebellious bird
That nobody can tame,

And you can call him, but in vain, Because it suits him not to come. Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer. One man talks well, the other is silent; but it's the other that I prefer.

He says nothing, but he pleases me. [Chorus Echoes]

Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a gypsy's child,
It has never known the law.
If you love me not, then I love you;
If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!) [Chorus Echoes]

If you love me not,
then I love you; (You'd best beware!) But if I love you, if I love you,
you'd best beware!

The bird you hoped to catch
Beat its wings and flew away.
Love stays away, you wait and wait, When least expected, there it is!

All around you, quickly quickly,
It comes and goes, and then returns. You think you hold it, it avoids you.. You think to avoid it, it holds you. [Chorus Echoes)
Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a gypsy's child,
It has never known the law.
If you love me not, then I love you; If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!)

If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!) but if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!
