Don Pasquale, English translation (the libretto starts on page 54, Norina and Ernesto's duet is on pages 84-85) Full opera on Youtube, English subtitles (the duet starts at 1:55:28)

Come, say the words I long for, say you are mine forever; never to part, no, never, our lives shall henceforward be one. Your tender voice shall quieten the tempest that rages inside me: Ah! With you, my love, beside me, I shall not tremble alone, I’ll tremble no more alone.

While listening to the 1988 Japanese cast recording of The Phantom of the Opera, I noticed that the meaning of the lyrics often strayed greatly from the original, so I wanted to (casually) translate some of the songs back into English, for funsies.

Think of Me

The Mirror (Angel of Music)

The Phantom of the Opera

Music of the Night

I Remember / Stranger Than You Dreamt It

*this list will be added to as I translate more songs*

source of Japanese lyrics here

listen to the 1988 Japanese cast recording here

also!! @toru771 has already very thoroughly translated the 1992 album, and has the Japanese lyrics, the romanized text, and the English translation, all of which can be found on their site here!!

highly recommend checking it out for added nuance of both language and lyrics :)

🔥 thoughts on the costumes from the globe theater's 2013 production of twelfth night?

oh the one with Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry? LOVE! I have mad respect for Jenny Tiramani and she's another on my list of 'would love to work with' designers.

Yet in his eyes, all the sadness of the world / Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore

Why can't the past just die

I find it increasingly funny that players are like, "Oh no, The Guardian has been committing war crimes-!"

So have the Awoken?? So have the Vanguard's enemies who are now part of the Alliance? This isn't Star Trek. This is Star Wars but with Light instead of the Force. Congratulations, you have been playing "War Crimes In Space: the Game." Suffer ig. 🫢
