  • Ellen McLain did state that she was an opera singer in one of commentaries in Portal 1.

  • Oh, how I wish I could've gone back to stay with GLaDOS while this song was being played. In the end, she was a true friend.

    Thanks, GLaDOS. We all had fun participating in this Aperture Testing Experience. Happy testing, My Robotic Comrade.

  • To prove that google translate is false, I translated them From Italian to English; The result:Dear beautiful, my beautiful darling. My baby, oh heaven that I admire, I respect that!

    Oh my dear, adieu!

    My dear child,

    because it does not go far away from science?

    My Dear, dear girl. Oh my good. Oh my dear.

    Oh my dear. Oh my little girl. Oh dear, dear to me!

  • This makes me cry that Its came to an end ;(

    OR HAS IT?

  • You don't know how happy I was when I saw that the third volume of the OST was finally released in the official website. These guys are so nice to give out such amazing tracks for free.

  • I'm Italian. I love this song :D

    I just love Portal :D

  • The lyrics are totally right.

    Except for "perché" and "cara a me" at the end.

  • now i know why valve picked this song read the english subtitles "Dear beautiful, my beautiful darling. My baby, oh heaven that I admire, I respect that!

    Oh my dear, farewell!

    My dear girl,

    Why do you want to stay away from science?

    My dear dear girl. Oh my lovely. Oh my dear.

    Oh my dear. Oh my child. A dear, dear to me!"

    GLaDOS actually liked her and is sad to see her gone

  • Si è italiano, ma per modo di dire: "perchè non passi lontana si lontana da scienza" non vuol dire una ceppa di minchia. Comunque bellissimo il finale :')

  • @Neospeedfire Hai ragione, la canzone è in italiano!

  • Comment removed

  • the new version is much better

  • i actually think this is spanish...

  • @thraveragehumanbeing It is italian, I swear. I'm italian. This song is italian. End of all.

  • This is still sad no matter how many times I hear it :l

  • Comment removed

  • I am Italian but I have not understood the same song XD

  • Italian: Cara Mia

    English: Dear Girl

  • @F4fullpower ur obviously not italian and do not speak Italian so shutup.

  • @Mrpoch1234 What the fuck is your problem? I was only reading by what the subtitles said you asshole.

  • @F4fullpower Um. No.

    Italian: Cara Mia

    English: My dear

  • I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG! I WANT A NECKLACE THAT PLAYS THIS SONG SO I CAN LISTEN TO IS ALL THE TIIIME> ._.

  • Small fix to your translation "Why do you want to stay away from science?" Is actually "Why don't you stay away from science?" Literal translation being "Why don't you walk away from science?"

  • its Italian bitch, those are NOT the subtitles

  • @ryder2341 LALALA can't hear you LALALALALALALALALALA

  • @ryder2341 That is the correct English translation of the Italian lyrics

  • @ryder2341 not Italian...Ellen McLain said she had to make up some Italian sounding words cause she was bad at Italian

  • @Rawr0w0Shadowa Oh, it's Italian, but you're correct, Ellen McLain made it up and she did say she wasn't perfect at Italian, but it's actual Italian.

  • @ryder2341 it is captions, just translated captions

  • @ryder2341 They're translated into English, look 'em up..

  • @ryder2341 you can change them in inglish dude

  • @ryder2341 Funny how newfags don't look at video descriptions.

  • @ryder2341 Subtitles are usually translated to English, so calm down.

  • @avianmosquito *spoilers* They are I can't remember exactly but glados is caroline somthing went wrong I think idk haven't played the game in awhile

  • This song is due to be on volume 3 of the soundtrack, without all the interference.

  • Listen to this, then "Want you gone." There's an interesting dichotomy between Caroline and Glados, considering they're basically the same person.

  • *talks about "the fucking translation"*

  • I think the comments I posted got to old and are no longer being shoved to the top, so I'll say this again, bear in mind the older comment was longer and contained more explanation, but this will have to do.

    Stop talking about the fucking translation.

  • @Bruceu2Uber valve just wouldn't put this song at the end that translates into chell being caves/carolines daughter... why would they just purposely fuck with us like that? it obviously means something about being the daughter of someone... + easteregg on the part where they look at the old science projects, one says chell johnson on it... so like, ya, it wouldnt make any sense just for valve to fuck with us like that.... BAM MO FO

  • @PhillipCarterPearson Tisk tisk!

    You're just trying to confuse me with all your fancy talk, typical city folk.

  • @Bruceu2Uber i live in montana..... lol

  • @PhillipCarterPearson so do i...glasgow

  • @kainhall bozeman lols

  • @Bruceu2Uber Your retarded.

  • @Caspianm2 im srory yur sentuns duz not cumput ^^ kthxbai

  • @PhillipCarterPearson But that's exactly it. The reason why they purposefully didn't put in a last name anywhere, or, in the case of the official comic, redacted it, was because they wanted to save the secret for observant people to find.

  • @WoWkemon90 true.. that would be perfect for a ending of a series... but i did hear in a interview with valve that they are now going to dismiss the idea of a 3rd portal

  • @Attacknun and @MarsRepepsi , It's probably because neither of you speak italian, but it can't be Chiel because in Italian "CH" is pronounced "K", Chell however, as a non-italian name would retain it's english "ch" sound

  • Beautiful

  • The first time i've heard i haven't noticed that the song is in Italian (my language), but it's so beautiful!

  • What are people on about, the translation is fine

    The only thing I might contest is the

    "chiel" in the first line, I think that's supposed to be "Chell", but that's not huge, according to all the theories they mean the same thing in essense

  • @Adrelinen

    It's a pun.

  • @MarsRepepsi Umm, no

    A pun is a rephrasing or replacment emphasis used to portray humor

    This wouldbe plain out a difference of opinion based in linguistic pronounciation

  • @Adrelinen

    They used the word because it sounded like Chell's name. Simple as that. Kind of sounds like a pun to me. Can't think of another word to describe it.

  • @Adrelinen Or it could mean "Heaven". But who cares? It's all the same to us.

  • Way too goddamn short.

  • I'm Italian, lol.

  • The only piece of Opera I'd be willing to listen to.

  • @mash1581 try ave maria the hitman version

  • I'm putting this on my Video to MP3 Converter.

  • Go on portal wiki for the trans....

  • And suddenly, I can't stop shivering...

  • Huh. Well, after downloading both of the OST soundtrack volumes, I discovered that NEITHER of the track 14s in EITHER of the volumes are titled "Cara Mia", "Turret Opera", or "The Turret Opera" or anything close to that. The song simply isn't in the OST. I *would* (probably along with a hell of a lot of other people) like the uploader to correct his mistake, so that people aren't fooled.

  • @unohoo09 omg i know i wanted this song soooo bad but it wasnt there :'(

  • were can i get this song. bought the soundtrack and its not on it "want you gone" wasnt either! please someone help!!!

  • @tacobread3

    Well, Valve has released two of three volumes for free download. We just have to wait for the third, I guess.

  • @MarsRepepsi When it comes to Valve, we ALWAYS have to wait for the third. FUCK.

  • At one point, it sounds like GlaDOS is saying que lastima, que lastima. hmmm. I imply nothing.

  • Game...over?

    Okay then... *door opens*

    OHMAHGOD TURRETS THEY GONNA SHOOT ME-

    *Turrets start singing*

  • @emberwing77 unforgettable part of the game

  • The subtitles are perfect! every word is right :D

  • :' ) makes me cry every time :3 lovely song <3 <3 <3 three hearts for you oh waht the hell <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • I can't stop listening to it over and overrrrrrrrrr

  • Must..Not..Cry....

    

  • The ending is "cara mia" not "cara a mi", it gets cut off cause the elevator opens so you hear "cara miiii~~"

  • i literally thought when the door opened they were going to shoot me into little shreds... but they started singing beautifully and i cried... first time in forever i as a man cried. such emotional and beautiful music

  • glados didnt lie when she said she saw a dear, her dear was chell :)

  • Who can care about translation when ur too busy enjoying the music?

  • @KingMickeyROLZ Because the meaning is part of the music, and meaning is carried by words as well as sound.

    Dumb comment.

  • @meestryal Music doesnt need words to have meaning, you can listen to instrumentals and still get the message it portrays. Music starts as music only, words are an add-on

    Plus, thats not even a proper response to my "question". Dumber comment

  • @KingMickeyROLZ True, I started badly, but the meaning is there isn't it? Your one sidd vision of music is ridiculous. And I said "as well as", which means I understand very well that music can have meaning with only sound.

  • @meestryal I see the value in lyrics but with all the people on this particular vid spazzing over the lyric translation, it seemed dumb to me

  • @KingMickeyROLZ Fair enough

  • WHY IT NO IN REAL OST????????????????????

    I'm actually literate, in case you're wondering

  • Suddenly, hit on back of head by a companion cube.

  • WHY CAN'T THIS SONG BE LONGER

    ;_;

  • @SgtIronbeak I fucking know, right?

  • @SgtIronbeak volume 3 came out a day or two ago, with this track in full form, its 2:33 :P, sounds great, pick it up at the official portal music site (just google thinkwithportals music)

  • wish they did this song a tad bit longer thanks for the translation ^.^

  • Damn people. Stop hatin' on the guy that made this video...

  • Why Nyan Cat is in the similiar videos? O.o

  • This is the original song. The music guy for portal wrote it.

  • Wheres the original version of this song? no turrets?

  • this is the first video game to ever make me cry. i was already close to tears but then i heard the translation...no amount of kleenexs could have saved me

  • 1:00

    Did Valve make this song or what? It has something about science in it clearly.

  • @Squeredead Of course they did. You can read the composer' name in the portal unofficial wiki. I plan to ask him the music sheets to sing this with my university choir...

  • @Lawnsu How nice!

  • The song is not only a farewell to Chel, but also to the players. Now the series have reached its most touching finale. Good bye Chel...Good bye GLaDOS...Good bye Portal....(sob)

  • where on earth did you get the soundtrack?

  • @kbes1646 0/10

  • @HaruHappy1779 Go play co-op, which is after she deleted Caroline. Caroline isn't that mean. GlaDOS is pure evil.

  • I am italian and I say that the translation is correct

  • 0:57 => i heard "c'est la patate" in french !

  • omg it opra

  • This is not GLaDOS singing to Chell. This is Caroline talking to her daughter Chell. Which is funny, because I should mention that Chell is probably like 6 or 7 years old. Maybe even much younger. That's why she can't speak. Her solving puzzles is her natural knowledge. How is Chell so young? Because her dad, Cave Johnson, put her in a rapid aging experiment. So stop saying Chell is hot -_-

  • @SilentPhenomed shes hot and portal 2 come 900 years from portal so shes not 1234567

  • @red33176ytv Actually in Portal 1, she was like a 20-ish looking 7 year old, but in Portal 2, Chell slept for years and woke up. So she's a rough 14-18 years old IMO.

    If she's 18, k go ahead and saying she's hawt. If not, stfu.

  • @SilentPhenomed What are you talking about? "A 20-ish looking 7 year old" i don't believe that's possible... shes in her 20s - 30s and she is put in stasis for about 100 years...

    and chell is young... because she was put through rapid aging... ummm... no comment...

    besides. the person who modeled chell (Yes chell is designed after a real person Alésia Glidewell) is 32.

    and she's not related to cave johnson (who died late 50s early 60s)

    your arguments make no sense...

  • @MrKingJay99 Nevermind what I said, I THOUGHT she was put in rapid aging because Aperture Science had experiments in that, but I forgot Cave died in the 1980s and Portal takes place in 200x. Chell simply was put into cyro sleep for many years. You don't need to be a dick about everything btw

  • @SilentPhenomed i wasn't being a dick i was just being informative :P

  • @red33176ytv If you read Lab Rat Rattmann (whose been around since Glados went and killed everyone) wakes her up shortly after she gets put in stasis again, she cannot be that old.

  • @SilentPhenomed Come to think of it, GlaDOS DOES say she is adopted. Who knows who adopted her. Then again, Cave Johnson has been dead since before the creation of GlaDOS, so that's gotta mean something.

  • @Ozitiho Well Chell was Cave Johnson's kid. Cave was interested only in science, as was Caronline. He had Chell go into cyro sleep, for rapid aging....OR he simply put her in cyro sleep. Either way, she was in cyro sleep. Cave had Caroline put as GLaDOS against her will and GLaDOS used Caroline as it's base in order to develop into a AI advanced enough to no longer need that base (that's why she deleted Caroline at the end of Portal 2). Chell then woke up from cyro sleep and....Portal starts.

  • @SilentPhenomed Johnson died around 1981. Portal 1 is set after the Black mesa incident (Wolfpaw said that) which is set around 200x. Chell can't be her daughter. Also, GLaDOS didn't use anyone, as Caroline is obviously the "Genetic Lifeform" part of GLaDOS (which stands for genetic lifeform and disk operative system). It would be right to say that Aperture scientists used Caroline.

  • @Lawnsu Then that means there never was a rapid aging experiment. Looking back on those comics, it seems Chell was simply put in cryosleep. I'm still saying she was Cave and Caroline's daughter. If you translate the Cara Mia song, it's "My dear, my sweet oh chell, why do you run away from science," or something like that. That's CAROLINE, aka Cave Johnson's wife, talking to Chell. Well, she wasn't singing it obviously, but the turrets basically sang Caroline's song to Chell.

  • @SilentPhenomed That doesn't make sense. In many ways... I can't start to name them...

  • @Ozitiho I KNOW that Chell was in cryosleep. Read the comics, replay both portals, and make sure you listen to developer commentary for further understanding. Eventually, it should start to make sense that Caroline was Chell's mother. The Cara Mia translation is Caroline talking to her daughter, but through the turrets, despite her being deleted recently from GLaDOS before Chell leaves. But GLaDOS not killing Chell and letting Cara Mia play says a lot about GLaDOS itself. Makes sense?

  • @SilentPhenomed Why would she need rapid aging if she 'existed' in the time that Cave Johnson existed? Cyro sleep is obvious, coz that's what you wake up from in both Portal games.

    At some point, Caroline (the GlaDOS that doesn't sound creepy as fuck) says you are adopted "and that is horrible". Given, Caroline could have been the adoption parent. But why the fuck would you adopt a kid if you're online gonna put it to sleep?

    I'm out of typing space. Long story short, lame story/theory is lame.

  • @Ozitiho You fucking idiot, did you not read where I was like "OH DERP NVM I MADE A FUCKING MISTAKE. CHELL NEVER HAD RAPID AGING IT WAS JUST ANOTHER APERTURE EXPERIMENT OR SOME SHIT BUT CHELL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT ERRR."

    Anyways, which part of Caroline are you talking about? During the Cara Mia song? I know the translation of the song, she never said Chell was adopted. Which part of GLaDOS said that (make sure it's not any sarcastic times)?

  • @SilentPhenomed The first inverse traction beam (Is that what is called? The blue thing that pushes, then turns red and pulls) test. I guess it's like, Test 3 in 'The Itch'. Maybe Test 4, idk. Pretty early on.

    Also, yes. I realise you doubted yourself when you said that. I just felt like pointing that out. U mad?

    Sides, the whole, GlaDOS allowing Caroline to sing Cara Mia, is just cheesy speculation on your part...Doesn't fit GlaDOS. She likes death too much to let anyone live.

  • @Ozitiho Yeahh that was GLaDOS being pissed at Chell and talking bullshit. You did GET that it was bullshit she talked most of the time to Chell because she was pissed and wanted to emotionally hurt Chell? I dunno, I thought even a retard could understand that.

    "U mad" LOL way to use a dead meme brah.

    And GLaDOS does not like death lmao. She likes testing, but she doesn't exactly well....have the biggest love for humans. But Aperture Science has the same distaste because humans make mistakes.

  • @SilentPhenomed ... Seriously, play that test. It's not sarcastic. She was all sad and serious because of the weird breakdown she was having.

    Have you played the singleplayer? She says she hates the robots coz they can't die. Or rather just, doesn't bother testing with them, coz it's not science if no one dies.

    Lastly, ur a dick. Honestly it's just a game, no need to get all defensive... This is also the longest youtube comment argument ever. Doesn't Youtube have PM's? I honestly don't know.

  • @Ozitiho I've played the whole single player. More than enough of it actually. GLaDOS used sarcasm at those early tests when she firsts starts to have Chell test again. Sorrowful tone? It's part of the sarcasm. IT DOES say in Chell's file that she is adopted, Wheatley even says "adopted fatty" to Chell BECAUSE he reads her file, BUT if you read the comics and did some thinking, you'll realize that only the file says she's adopted, but she's still potentially Caroline and Cave's daughter.

  • @Ozitiho ...Continued...

    GLaDOS says she hates robots because they can't die. Well, I consider that some bullshit really. She stated at the end of the game that she had a pretty good life and simply TESTED. She just loved testing. APERTURE SCIENCE does not like humans since humans make errors, so they have no problem killing them off. GLaDOS, if you play co-op, actually praises the robots for not having specific human like traits and that they have smaller room for error.

  • @SilentPhenomed What? She keeps going ON and ON how she wants things to die. She even asked the reassembly machine not to reassemble them, just to get the effect. "Have you figured out the one GOOD human trait yet?" She says in... Idk.

    In the same test when Wheatley says "adopted fatty", the 'not early' test in The Itch chapter IS the test i'm speaking of. Where the emotional GlaDOS says "You're adopted and that's terrible.". Given, she might be lying. But by that logic she might also be a cow.

  • @Ozitiho Ohh so it's that "You're adopted and that's terrible" line GLaDOS says? Yeahh she was being sarcastic lmao. She just wanted to keep insulting Chell because Chell killed her and she's pissed. And yet, GLaDOS IS a cow...to Chell at least.

  • @Ozitiho /....Continued 2....

    I've been in longer youtube arguments

  • It's not "OH, heaven." It's "Oh, Chell".

  • @GarrysGuy123 In the song it can be both. That's exactly the point...

  • @GarrysGuy123 Technically, it is "oh, ciel" as in "oh heaven" but it's a double meaning.

  • I wouldve shit my slef if we had to fight that giant king turret

  • you cant say that its correct i mean youtubes captions are wrong all most all the time.

  • Since my inbox has been bombarded with comments saying the exact same thing for two months I thought I'd clarify. THE TRANSLATION IS CORRECT AND WE KNOW THAT GLADOS' VOICE ACTRESS IS AN OPERA SINGER AND VOICES THE TURRETS, so stop talking about!

    Also Glados being Chell's mom is a popular theory, so we don't need you ALL CAPS RAGING ABOUT HOW YOU JUST THOUGHT OF THAT, not at all.

  • @virtualviper IT'S NOT A GOD DAMN GOOGLE TRANSLATION! It was at first but then people who actually speak the language pointed out the flaws.

    Bottom line, I don't care what you think, this is my translation, stop wasting my time.

  • @Bruceu2Uber You need to relax, sit down, and listen to me. The lyrics are not 100% correct language wise, it's not 100% correct italian and a little spanish, hence there is no 100% correct translation. Yours is just one and is no more right or wrong than the other popular ones.

  • @Bruceu2Uber I think it's pretty accurate phonetically, sans the "stimo". I think she's saying "che la stima", though I don't know Italian. I just know what I can hear as a Phonetician. It has been suggested that she's saying "Oh Chell", but it would be a clever pun as "oh ciel", though the two are the same in pronunciation, so I suppose it's personal preference at best.

  • @kbes1646 Gtfo my internet.

  • @kbes1646 ur probably one of those 12 year old CoD fanboys who couldn't understand why there's no machine guns and got stuck on the first puzzle in Portal.

  • Comment removed

  • @Bruceu2Uber Lmao, well. Kudos to you for getting the translation. Also, you do realise that by now, people are just trolling you with the whole google translate deal?
