MUSIC: Anna Netrebko performs Puccini's "Quando m'en vo' soletta"

Beautiful!!!

"Quando m'en vo' ", also known as "Musetta's Waltz", is a soprano aria, a waltz in act two of Puccini's opera La bohème. It is sung by Musetta, in the presence of her bohemian friends, hoping to reclaim the attention of her occasional boyfriend Marcello." (Wikipedia)

Lyrics in English:

When I walk

When I walk all alone in the street,

people stop and stare at me

and look for my whole beauty

from head to feet ...

And then I taste the slight yearning

which transpires from their eyes

and which is able to perceive from manifest charms

to most hidden beauties.

So the scent of desire is all around me,

it makes me happy!

And you, while knowing, reminding and longing,

you shrink from me? 

I know it very well:

you don't want to express your anguish,

but you feel as if you're dying!
