Original lyrics

Nessun dorma

(Calaf, Il principe ignoto:)

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.

(Coro: Voci di donne)

Il nome suo nessun saprà...

E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir!

(Calaf, Il principe ignoto:)

Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!

Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò!

Vincerò! Vincerò!

Translation

Time for waking (singable translation)

(Calaf, the unknown prince:)

Tíme for wáking!

You tóo Princéss are sléepless

Shút in your cóld apártments

Wátching the stár rays

Still trémble with afféction

And wíth endúrance...

But my mýstery‿is búried in mé

My real náme shall stáy unknówn!

No, no! Kíssing your móuth tomórrow‿at dáwn

Í shall disclóse‿it, ónly thén!

Only my kíss is bound to bréak the sílence

That mákes you míne.

(Choir of women)

His real náme shall stáy unknówn...

And all of ús, alás, are dóomed to díe!

(Calaf, the unknown prince:)

Do vánish, dárkness! Stars, do sét alréady!

Stars, do sét alréady! When dáwn comes Í shall wín!

Í shall wín! Í sháll wín!

Whereas a translation is presented as 'singable', it's by no means intended to be a literal version of the lyrics in another language. It just aspires to be a rhythmical, sometimes also rhyming, rendition of the text, so that different words can be sung along to the music, keeping the original meaning as much as the syllable count makes it possible .
