Maria Callas (Greek: Μαρία Κάλλας) (December 2, 1923 - September 16, 1977) was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned opera singers of the 20th century. She combined an impressive bel canto technique, a wide-ranging voice and great dramatic gifts. An extremely versatile singer, her repertoire ranged from classical opera seria to the bel canto operas of Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini; further, to the works of Verdi and Puccini; and, in her early career, to the music dramas of Wagner. Her remarkable musical and dramatic talents led to her being hailed as La Divina... en.wikipedia.org Lyrics & English Translation Afraid of me? To be completely sure, Ready is my defence. His eyes are attracted by a stone She wears on her right hand. Wrapped in the dark Night, I am near you, And you don't know it... Wailing wind, Carry to him, mercifully, my sighs... On the rosy wings of love, Go, pained sighs: Go to alleviate the sick mind Of the wretch that lies imprisoned... Like a breeze of hope Linger in that room: Wake him up to remembrance, To dreams of love! Yet do not imprudently Reveal the woes of my heart!
