Vincenzo Bellini
NORMA
Casta Diva, Norma's aria from Norma
Casta Diva, che inargenti
O pure Goddess, who silver
queste sacre antiche piante,
These sacred ancient plants,
a noi volgi il bel sembiante
Turn thy beautiful semblance on us
senza nube e senza vel... Unclouded and unveiled...
Tempra, o Diva,
Temper, o Goddess,
tempra tu de?cori ardenti
The brave zeal
tempra ancora lo zelo audace,
Of the ardent spirits,
spargi in terra quella pace
Scatter on the earth the peace
che regnar tu fai nel ciel...
Thou make reign in the sky...
Fine al rito : e il sacro bosco
Complete the rite : and the sacred wood
Sia disgombro dai profani.
Be clear of the laity.
Quando il Nume irato e fosco,
When the irate and gloomy God
Chiegga il sangue dei Romani,
Asks for the Roman blood
Dal Druidico delubro
My voice will thunder
La mia voce tuoner?
From the Druidic temple.
Cadr? punirlo io posso.
He will fall ; I can punish him
(Ma, punirlo, il cor non sa.
(But my heart is unable to do so).
Ah! bello a me ritorna
(Ah! Return to me beautiful
Del fido amor primiero;
In your first true love ;
E contro il mondo intiero...
Il protect you
Difesa a te sar?
Against the entire world.
Ah! bello a me ritorna
Ah! Return to me beautiful
Del raggio tuo sereno;
With your serene ray;
E vita nel tuo seno,
Il have life, sky
E patria e cielo avr?
And homeland in your heart.
Ah, riedi ancora qual eri allora,
Ah, return again as you were then,
Quando il cor ti diedi allora,
When I gave you my heart then,
Ah, riedi a me.)
Ah, come back to me.)

and dreams.This lady is interpreting the
text when an an unbroken line;and the self
control is divinely inspired !It does not
get any better than this !God bless her soul
for annointing us encore une fois !
the great Italian Tenor Benaminio Gigli?
I love to hear him sing Care
Selve (by Handel)
singing Casta Diva;this is a definitive Norma.
Did you want to say that if someone doesn't agree with you, it means she/he's incompetent or shallow ? Very interesting
