DONATE TO THE GREEN HILLS ANIMAL SHELTER Yeah, I know this is "out of season", being a Psalm Sunday hymn, but the words are timeless. I guess it wasn't all bad. The police gave me a "whoop" on their siren.

Only 6 days left... Lyrics: There’s a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar; For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there. Refrain: In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore. We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blessed; And our spirits shall sorrow no more, Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. To our bountiful Father above, We will offer our tribute of praise For the glorious gift of His love And the blessings that hallow our days.

So, I wanted to do a song with the least amount of traffic so I did this just after midnight. I will say that I only sang parts of it and I did blank out on some of the Italian. One of the most popular arias from one of the most popular Operas. Turandot is a princess, beautiful but cold, and is the object of desire for the nameless prince Calaf. The aria appears in the final act of the opera. Calaf has correctly answered three riddles posed by the Princess Turandot. She now must marry him, but recoils at the thought. Calaf proposes a question of his own, for the Princess to guess his name before the sun rises. Turandot orders her subjects that "no one shall sleep" (Nessum Dorma) until his name is found, or they will all die. Yeah,..she has issues. This was the very first aria that I heard and it made me fall in love with Opera. I longed to be like Pavarotti on the stage, singing the high "C"s to a cheering audience. Here is the Italian: 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 e chiuso in me Il nome mio nessun saprá! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diró Quando la luce splenderá! Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio Che ti fa mia! (Il nome suo nessun saprá! E noi dovrem, ahimé, morir!) Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vinceró! Vinceró, vinceró! The English translation: No-one sleeps, no-one sleeps Even you, o princess In your cold room Watch the stars Which tremble with love And hope! But my secret is locked within me No-one shall know my name! No, no, I shall say it on your mouth When the light breaks! And my kiss will break the silence That makes you mine! (No-one shall know his name And we, alas, shall die!) Vanish, o night! Set, ye stars! At dawn I shall win!
