The aria achieved pop status after Luciano Pavarotti 's rendition of it was used as the theme for the 1990 Football World Cup and has since then become the tenor's Signature Song outside Italy. It is often used as the soundtrack of many televisions shows and movies, particularly those associated with football. TRIVIA
Aretha Franklin stepped in at the last minute to sing this standard at the 1998 Grammy telecast when Luciano Pavarotti took ill. "Nessun dorma" was part of the album ''The Essential Pavarotti'', the only classical album to reach No.1 in the UK Singles Chart , topping the charts from July 7 to July 21 1990 . For other trivias, and usage of "Nessun dorma" in media and events, see ''Turandot'' In The Media And Events . LYRICS Translated from the score. The Prince None shall sleep!... None shall sleep! Even you, o Princess, in your cold room, watch the stars, that tremble with love and with hope. But my secret is hidden within me, my name no one shall know... No!...No!... On your mouth I will tell it when the light shines. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!... The Chorus of women No one will know his name and we must, alas, die. The Prince Vanish, o night! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! SEE ALSO
