Enrico Caruso - Vincenzo Ciampi: Tre giorni son che Nina

[4faithhopelove]

Song lends itself to either interpretation ... Of a father in denial of his dead daughter, or of a father seriously praying for his daughter who is so I'll that she is in a coma-like state. I wonder what the plot of the original play was?

A mais bela voz registrada! Quanta dor! O que é o último "non"?È possível tamanha expressão?

Yes, "his" Nina IS dead, isn't she? Caruso just "dived" emotionally into this "scenario" and sings it from that viewpoint. Genious, as far as I am concerned.

I agree that his Ninetta is dead these past three days, and he is wishing that he could wake her somehow. Th pathos is that he denies that she's dead, he is deluding himself that she is asleep. A rather beautiful little song.

im singing this for music contest . I was told in the song hes trying to wake a dead girl.

@fredlvr9: not sure this is correct. The lyrics refer to the concern of a man for his beloved Nina, who is in bed seriously ill.
