Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Turandot, SC 91 / Act III: "Nessun Dorma!" by Luciano Pavarotti from Italian to English.
Nessun dorma
Nobody sleeps
Nessun dorma
Nobody sleeps
Tu pure, o Principessa
You too, oh Princess
Nella tua fredda stanza
In your cold room
Guardi le stelle
You watch the stars
Che tremano d'amore e di speranza
Shaking with love and hope
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
But my secret's locked inside me
Il nome mio nessun saprà
Nobody will know my name
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
No, no, I'll say it on your lips
Quando la luce splenderà
When the light shines
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
And my kiss will melt the silence
Che ti fa mia
That makes you mine
(Il nome suo nessun saprà
(Nobody will know his name
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir)
And we, alas, must die, die)
Dilegua, o notte
Fade, oh night
Tramontate, stelle
Set, stars
Tramontate, stelle
Set, stars
All'alba vincerò
At dawn I'll win
