Raina Kabaivanska - Sole e amore

[louvet66]

Que d'affectation, que de maniérisme superflu dans l'interprétation de cette grande dame.

[emokiddo123]

Il sole allegramente batte ai tuoi vetri

Amor pian pian batte al tuo cuore

E l'uno e l'altro chiama

Il sole dice "O dormente mostrati che sei bella!"

Dice l'amor: "Sorella, col tuo primo pensier

Pensa chi t'ama!

Pensa chi t'ama! Pensa!"

Al Paganini, G.Puccini

Dear amirco,

Would you happen to have the lyrics to this aria?

I found most of the lyrics, but not the last stanza.

Thanks!

Dear thechinadesk,

the last stanza is sort of a dedication

Al Paganini, G. Puccini

Dear amirco,

Thanks so much for cluing me in.

I just couldn't make it out, but once you told me, it was in retrospect, obvious.

It is apparently customary to sing this final dedication. I noticed that James Valenti, a tenor, sings it this way as well.

Thanks for posting this. My classmates and I are learning this in voice class next week.

Dear thechinadesk,

Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Pensa a chi t'ama and everything will come out just perfectly. Wish you and your friends LOVEly singing.

[thechinadesk]

Dear amlirco,

When I have the aria down I'll post my own amateur rendition of it on YouTube.

It may be a while though!

LOL.

[amlirco]

Looking forward to. Best of luck!

Paganini was a magazine which published works of up and coming composers.
