Emptybill,
 

 I've listened to several singers after Judy made her comment on this thread.  
IMO, Charlotte Church sang it with passion, even though she was still very 
young when she sang this aria.
 

 But Sissel's version made it more understandable because of the subtitles.

Judy,
 

 The us refers to the forum members, but I also meant it to mean me, myself 
and I.

The good thing about multiple personality disorder is that you've always
got someone to talk to. Also, masturbation is less lonely because you
can always get one of the others to do it for you.   :-)

You know,  you can find English translations of the lyrics of most famous opera 
arias on the Web. Just do a search for English lyrics [title of aria].

Much better, thank you.
 
 Since it is opera why not listen to it sung by some of the best mezzos?

It's actually one of Puccini's best-known arias, from the short comic opera 
Gianni Schicchi, composed in the early 20th century.
 

 Sissel's performance is technically excellent but kind of bloodless, IMHO.
 

 (Who is us?)
 
 

  Sissel sings this classical song with English subtitles.  The translation 
gives an extra dimension to this song. Let us know what you think?
