The Eye-ties do produce great opera and great opera singers.
The translation means..."to sleep."
But how could ANYONE sleep with all that opera being sung in the area?
Sorry,I'd have to call the Polizia.

To anonymous at 11:29: not just great opera. SO much of their Baroque era music is great as well. Monteverdi comes to mind. Just amazing. Back on opera, the aria from Madame Butterfly is amazing as well. A shipmate of mine knocked on my barracks room door, and asked what was on my stereo. Not with a sneer, but with amazed curiosity. Considering that this was some ghetto black who normally listened to trash, the curiosity was quite unexpected. He enjoyed it and said so.
I've heard this song in movies. Also remember another different song from that wonderful little movie 40 years ago about "The Cutters" in Bloomington Indiana where one of the kids was so obsessed with Italy he started pretending he was Italian and got in way over his head with his act, serenading a sorority girl on her balcony with another Italian Opera Song.
