Just found this translation of Nessun Dorma in english. I was going to make some pics with Nessun Dorma translated in english but not sure it would make too much sense or anyone would know what I was on about ;D Here's one translation I found but some are slightly diff. Nessun dorma, nessun dorma Tu pure, o Principessa, Nella tua fredda stanza, Guardi le stelle Che tremano d'amore E di speranza. Translated:No one sleeps, no one sleeps Even you, o Princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars, That tremble with love And with hope. 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. Translated:But my secret is hidden within me; My name no one shall know, no, no, On your mouth I will speak it When the light shines, And my kiss will dissolve the silence That makes you mine. Chorus Il nome suo nessun saprà E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir. Translated:No one will know his name And we must, alas, die. Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Translated:Vanish, o night! Set**, stars! At daybreak, I shall conquer!

This ones slighty diff. Nessun dorma, Nessun dorma! No one sleeps! No one sleeps! Tu pure, o Principessa, You too, O Princess! nella tua fredda stanza, in your chaste room guardi le stelle are watching the stars which che tremano d'amore e di speranza. tremble with love and hope! Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me, But my secret lies hidden within me, il nome mio nessun sapra! no one shall discover my name! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro' Oh no, I will reveal it only on your lips, quando la luce splendera'! when daylight shines forth Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio and my kiss shall break che ti fa mia! the silence which makes you mine Il nome suo nessun saprà! no one shall discover my name! e noi dovrem, ahime, morir! And we will have to die! Dilegua, o notte! Depart, oh night! Tramontate, stelle! Fade away, you stars! All'alba vincero'! At dawn I shall win!

I like the second one. Well... a small correction... he's actually going to win at night... but who wants to niggle over details? ;D
The line 'Nessun Dorma' is also often translated as 'None must sleep', which is a kind of weird thing to say but does sound quite cool.

Thank you irishrokit for posting this. A good English-class exercise for Year 12 students: Compare and contrast the lyrics of 'Nessun Dorma' and 'Night of My Life'.
