Mozart - Le Nozze Di Figaro - Maria Ewing - Non so piu cosa son, cosa faccio
The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze Di Figaro) - the famous comedy opera by Mozart - Non So Piu sung (actually mimed by Maria so as to fit in with the director's vision for the scene) by Maria Ewing (an American) in the "breeches" role of Cherubino. Maria was only in her 20s in this superlative performance - 1975 performance directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, music by Karl Bohm conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, with Hermann Prey (Figaro), Mirella Freni (Susanna), Kiri Te Kanawa (La Contessa di Almaviva), Dietrich Fisher-Dieskau (Il Conte di Almaviva), and Maria Ewing (Cherubino).
Lyrics -- Italian/English
Non so piu cosa son, cosa faccio,
I don't know any more what I am, what I'm doing,
Or di foco, ora sono di ghiaccio,
Now I'm fire, now I'm ice,
Ogni donna cangiar di colore,
Any woman makes me change color,
Ogni donna mi fa palpitar.
Any woman makes me quiver.
Solo ai nomi d'amor, di diletto,
At just the names of love, of pleasure,
Mi si turba, mi s'altera il petto,
My breast is stirred up and changed,
E a parlare mi sforza d'amore
And a desire I can't explain
Un desio ch'io non posso spiegar.
Forces me to speak of love.
Parlo d'amore vegliando,
I speak of love while awake,
Parlo d'amor sognando,
I speak of love while dreaming,
All'acqua, all'ombra, ai monti,
To the water, the shade, the hills,
Ai fiori, all'erbe, ai fonti,
The flowers, the grass, the fountains,
All'eco, all'aria, ai venti,
The echo, the air, and the winds
Che il suon de'vani accenti
Which carry away with them
Portano via con se.
The sound of my vain words.
E se non ho chi m'oda,
And if there's nobody to hear me,
E se non ho chi m'oda,
And if there's nobody to hear me,
Parlo d'amor con me
I speak of love to myself
Parlo d'amor con me!
I speak of love to myself!
