James Brown and Pavarotti

New posts
That is not the English translation of Schubert's Ave Maria.


.

I don't know the English translation, but I had the feeling that was the Bono-rized version of the song.

Ya think? ;-)

:google: sez:
(Word by word translation)
Ave Maria Hail Mary
gratia plena filled with grace
Dominus tecum the Lord [is] with you
Benedicta tu Blessed [are] you
Et benedictus And blessed
Fructus ventris tui. [Is] the fruit of your womb.

Sancta Maria Holy Mary
Mater Dei Mother of God
Ora pro nobis Pray for us
Peccatoribus Sinners
Nunc et in Now and in
Hora mortis nostrae. The hour of our death.
 
Boy, I sure loved Pavarotti -- :cry: He will be missed. My favorite was the Bono one. I think I have that CD somewhere and will go look for it.

I also think Andrea Bocelli is wonderful. He has a beautiful version of "The Prayer" with Celine Dion.

I just found this on Utube: Pavarotti, Bocelli and others with "All for Love" - When Pavarotti sang with others, he was so happy to let others shine: [nomedia]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xWP1RLdQss[/nomedia]
 
An aquaintance of mine wrote this about Pavrotti and I thought it was humorous enough to share...

"I had dinner with Mr. Pavarotti at the apartment of my friend, Michael, in Manhattan. I was just a teenager at the time (Michael was a classmate of mine from school). Of course, when you are a teenager what do you discuss with Luciano Pavorotti? We talked about food, movies, gossip. (He never once talked about opera unless it dealt with backstage gossip.) He was very funny, but underneath he seemed sad, contemplative.

Mr. Pavorotti ate so much that I thought Michael's mother was going to have to send for take-out. He also had a lusty appetite for women because he looked at Michael's married sister the way a German Shepard looks at a plate of raw meat."


:biggrin:
God rest that glorious soul!

Great story, Mermy!
