As the final act of Turandot opens Calaf hears Turandot's heralds proclaiming her command to discover his name. His aria begins with an echo of their cry and a reflection on Princess Turandot. Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza etc. None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Even you, O Princess, in your cold bedroom, watch the stars that tremble with love and with hope!

"Let nobody sleep!" and "(That) none may sleep!" are English equivalents of the Italian phrase Nessun dorma! The masculine singular noun and third person singular present verb may be interpreted as being in the imperative of command (case 1) or the subjunctive of wishing (example 2). Regardless of meaning or use, the pronunciation will be "nes-SOON DOR-ma" in Italian.

"Let nobody sleep! Let nobody sleep! Even you, oh princess, in your cold bedroom, look at the stars which tremble with love and with hope! But my mystery is closed inside me; nobody will know my name! No, no! On your moth I will tell it when the light will shine. And my kiss will dissolve the silence which makes you mine! Disperse, oh night! Fade, stars! Fade, stars! At dawn I will win! I will win! I will win!" are the literal English equivalents of the Italian words in the aria Nessun dorma.

Opera arias generally don't have a specific title. They're usually known by the words of the first line. For instance, the famous aria by Puccini is "Nessun dorma," which means "no one shall sleep." The tenor's first aria in Verdi's Aida is "Celeste Aida," or "Heavenly Aida." Rarely an aria will be known by another title, such as the "Habanera" in Carmen; "habanera" pertains to the specific dance rhythm to which the aria is sung, instead of it being known by the first line.
