    Text:
    O del mio amato ben
    O del mio amato ben perduto incanto!
    Lungi è dagli occhi miei
    chi m'era gloria e vanto!
    Or per le mute stanze
    sempre la cerco e chiamo
    con pieno il cor di speranze.
    Ma cerco invan, chiamo invan!
    E il pianger m'è si 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 cosi la vita vana cosa
    senza il mio ben.
    Original Text: Stefano Donaudy
    Oh, lost enchantment of my dearly beloved!
    Far from my eyes is she
    who was, to me, glory and pride!
    Now through the empty rooms
    I always seek her and call her
    with a heart full of hope.
    But I seek in vain, I call in vain!
    And the weeping is so dear to me,
    that with weeping alone I nourish my heart.
    It seems to me, without her, sad everywhere.
    The day seems like night to me;
    the fire seems cold to me.
    If, however, I sometimes hope
    to give myself another cure,
    one thought alone torments me:
    But without her, what shall I do?
    To me, life seems a vain thing
    without my beloved.
    English Translation: Donna Bareket

    @POLSKADOT, QuattlebaumCody, and waytohome: Thank you so much for your kind comments! Yes, I plan to sing to my children - and for now I sing to my friend's children as much as possible! They seem to like it. (Unless they're just being nice;) )

    OK. Now I know that you were just scared of the Mahler! This one is lovely! Listen to the difference in your voice -- you sound much more free here. You really have a beautiful tone and just perfect placement. I'd love to know who your teacher is -- or at least what school.

      mezzosoprano ?!
      questa e' la voce del soprano lirico .
      vocalità degna della scuola media ...

    The singing would take too long to discuss, though vocally there are distinct possibilities. However, visually is another, shorter story. Your constant gripping of the piano is a distraction -- not to mention it leaves only one hand free to gesture, which then adds to the distraction . Don't dismiss the visual aspect. Singing involves a total package: voice, technique, proper pronunciation snd excellent diction, and presentation skills. T'aint easy.

      Bill Stump In the real world, I charge thousands for performance advice. And Callas is dead -- nor was she the best singer ever to hit the stage. BTW, Stump, who are you really Tiny Tim? Come on, admit it -- Tiny Tim -- right?
