Vesti la Giubba (English)

"Vesti la giubba" from Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci", performed in English. I originally posted this as Private for friends & family, but decided to make it Public just for the hey of it. If you'd like to hear more of this tenor or see a cleaner copy of this video, visit: http://www.putfile.com/mchein For those unfamiliar with the English version: To perform! When my head's swarming with anguish, not knowing what I might say, or what I'm doing. And yet, I have to... force myself! Bah! Can't you be a man?! You are Pagliaccio! On with your costume, and your face brightly painted. Your public pays you, and they must be amused. Though Columbine and Harlequin betray you, laugh, laugh, Pagliaccio, and they will all applaud! You must transform your despair into laughter, and make a jest of your sobbing and your pain, Ah! Laugh, laugh, Pagliaccio, though your love has betrayed you! Laugh through the torment that embitters your heart!
