Portal 2: Turrets - Opera "Cara Mia" (HD)

As requested by my gf, here's a cut from the Portal 2 ending sequence, as turrets say goodbye to Chell.

The Lyrics appear to be half Italian and half Spanish.
For instance "cara mia bambina addio" means "goodbye my dear child", while "que lastima" means "it's a shame (to see you go)" in Spanish.

Also to note a point where she seems to sing "perchè non passi lontana, si lontana da scienza" which would mean "why don't you just stay away from science" lol. GLaDOS disappointment.

Here's the Lyrics from the Wikia contributors:

Italiano:

Cara bella, cara mia bella!
Mia bambina, o ciel! [pun: Chell = It. "Ciel" = Sky"]
Ché la stimo... (or "que lastima")
Ché la stimo.
O cara mia, addio!

La mia bambina cara,
perché non passi lontana?
Sì, lontana da Scïenza, [personified]
Cara, cara mia bambina?
Ah, mia bella!
Ah, mia cara!
Ah, mia cara!
Ah, mia bambina!
O cara, cara mia...

English:

Dear beautiful, my beautiful darling!
My child, oh Chell! [pun: "oh heavens!"]
For I hold her in esteem...
For I hold her in esteem.
Farewell to my dear!
My dear girl,
why do you not walk away?
Yes, away from Science,
My dear, my dear girl?
Ah, my beautiful!
Ah, my dear!
Ah, my dear!
Ah, my child!
Oh dear, my dear...

Did anyone else notice in the beginning when the one on the right moves he makes the noise of the turrets from TF2?

[pikapotter2]

When I first heard this, I'm like "crap, I'm gonna die? Oh they're just singing. That was kinda cute, but I was hoping for something- HOLY SH*T THIS IS EPIC!

That's the great thing about Ellen McLain, she knows what she does with her voice. She's a fully trained Opera Singer, but she can effortlessly sing any other style. She can sound distorted and disturbing and then soothing and seductive in a matter of seconds. She makes GlaDOS seem alive (and sarcastic).

it's in italien and i'm italien ciao

[BigGamingHD]

Per chi mi capirà: ho i brividi ogni volta che sento questa canzone... Mi ricorda tutto il gioco, pensando a tutti i momenti che ho "vissuto"... Grandissime emozioni finite con una sola, la più grande emozione mai provata in un videogioco.
