O Del Mio Amato Ben - Tito Schipa w/ Translation

O del mio Amato Ben " O my Beautiful Love" by S. Donaudy Beautifully sung by Tito Schipa. A singers singer.-
About a man mourning his lost love...

O del mio amato ben perduto incanto!
Lungi è dagli occhi miei
chi m'era gloria e vanto!
Or per le mute stanze

sempre lo cerco e chiamo
con pieno il cor di speranze?
Ma cerco invan, chiamo invan!
E il pianger m'è sì caro,
che di pianto sol nutro il cor.

Mi sembra, senza lei,
triste ogni loco.
Notte mi sembra il giorno;
mi sembra gelo il foco.
Se pur talvolta spero
di darmi ad altra cura,
sol mi tormenta un pensiero:
Ma, senza lei, che farò?
Mi par così la vita
vana cosa senza il mio ben.
**************************************
Oh beloved of my lost dreams
you're far from my eyes
she who was my glory and pride!
now through the silent rooms
I cry out her name
my heart filled with hope?
But I search in vain, I call in vain!
with tears in my eyes for my dear one,
my heart becomes nourished by those tears.

I see myself without her,
in every sad place.
I think night is day;
I think ice is fire.
at other times I think of
another 'cure',
I am tormented by my thoughts:
without her, what shall I do?
my life is in vain
without my love.

For certain I am amazed by the voices of Corelli, del Monaco, but this voice capture my heart!

Just Beautiful

[SoulNotes1]

Scipa's magnificent 'emotional tone' so enhances the melancholy of the words...

This rare sound was also found with Titto Gobbi.

After all these years of listening to Schipa, I am still awe struck by the uniqness and individuality of his sound, and of course ,his expression.

[bloydaage]

Even Gigli couldn't done it better then Schipa.

[bodiloto]

Sublime .

Dear Reduxmisc. thanks for the posting and words and

fine choice of photo's.

But my friend what a voice for what a song, the perfection

of coupling, the sad lilting light voice, oh Tito well done.

I'd like to hear Beniamino Gigli's rendering of the song. It must be fantastic to hear it sung with his sweet mid-voice!
