MERCURIO:
Oh, duerme tranquila, eres maravillosa !
Tú me haces sentir una dulce alegría en la más triste soledad.
Tu divino poder calma la ansiedad.
Tú haces más suave el más cruel d los tormentos.
Oh, duerme tranquila, eres maravillosa !



MERCURY:
Oh, quiet sleep, you are so charming !
You makes me feel sweet joy in the saddest loneliness.
Your divine power calms anxiety.
You know how to sooth the most pitiless torment.
Oh, quiet sleep, you are so charming !
(Free personal translation)

Vous savez adoucir le plus cruel tourment.

Qerida amiga, creo que yo tambien comienzo a "enamorarme" de Rockwell Blake/Se que tu no necesítas las comillas/ ;-)

Muchas gracias por compartir su trabajo. Abría sido dificil para mí haberlo conocido. Me quedo sin palabras ante su dicción, sobresaliente interpretacion y la facilidad/aparente sencillez/de ser puro sentimiento.

bellissimo come tutti i tuoi mia sabinabarbara...

[moo7chi7ld]

amberfly, why didnt you like him before? This the frist recording of his that I love. His voice is young innocent and touching, and the tone . . . . . .

[moo7chi7ld]

you sound like a real expert on blake. I just found out about him:I entered passaggio, and I got an interview between him and a young (idolizing) tenor in wh. blake tries to explain the challenge of getting through the passaggio, darkening the voice, saying its "really really hard".

The light tenor voice is an amazing voice--naturally--and it can confuse those who possesss one, and the teachers they consult. This post of yours is very enlightening to me, I appreciate it greatly
