Have you had any experience that losed a best friend? Friday evening, a good friend's crying with huge sadness and pain from the other side of the Ocean made my heart almost broken...
I would like to comfort the friend and to share the huge sadness in my friend's heart, meanwhile, to comfort the past soul, I opened my music book and I chose this Italian song for them...
This song is from an Italian opera and be published in London in 1749. It expresses how a mother calls her dead duaghter and wishes her wake up from the foreversleeping quickly...
I could not find any ready English translation. So, I tried to translate it into English by myself, then I sang it in Italian, English and Chinese.
I really hope that my singing will bring my friend and all of the people who have had the sad experience that lost his/her best friend getting a little bit comfort; to bring those souls who have gone to the heaven peaceful and lucky...
I also wish that the beautiful tone of the Italian song will bring you a little bit pretty artistic breath...
