Ciel seems to be used in a fun context, but in English only Chell would fit.bambina is a female child, in English you can drop this as it's clear from context.Attempts have been made by the author to translate non-literal but still with the same meaning.Here is another interpretation which looks quite correct to me, it really feels like a song. "bambina" actually means "pre-adolescent girl" I'm not aware of an English equivalent.Īlternative readings of those lines of first stanza most people seem to disagree on:Ĭhè la stima, for it holds her in esteem,Ĭhè la stimo, for I hold her in esteem,Ĭhe la stimo, for I hold her in esteem,.However, it is probably incorrect, since the rest of the song is in Italian. "que lastima" is the transcription I can make the best sense of, based on Dave McClelland suggestion.Notes on my bad transcription and translation: Words I'm unsure about are in italicĬara, bel, cara mia, Dear, beautiful, my dear, However, even being an Italian myself, I'm having a very hard time transcribing it. He requested that I use my legit voice (operatic sound) on some of the takes. Maybe we will never know for sure what are the the correct, "official" lyrics, but we know they are Italian (or something that resembles Italian), and also that some unofficial translations got pretty close.ĮDIT: I just noticed that Keaanu had posted a comment linking to Ellen McLain answering questions from Reddit:ĥ.Q) “What is the story behind the Turret opera song? Was this something you wanted to do with your opera background?”ĥ.A) The composer, Mike Morasky was the driving force behind the Turret Opera.
So, hence, this is the goodbye to Chell." On the Internet, the translations are close or not so close, but none of them have been absolutely correct.īut it was, because Mike Morasky told me in the recording session, he said: "This is the goodbye. So I made up words in my very bad high-school Italian, because I studied Italian when I was in the high school.Īnd I have to say that Mike and I have decided that we are not going to divulge exactly what I said, because we love all the creativity. You know, different consonants and different vowel combinations.Īnd then Mike said: "Well, can you just make up some words?" And I said: "Sure!" When we were in the studio, I did all of the recording in a lot of different syllables. These revelations were made during a discussion of "Plots vs Play" GameInformer has a nice run down of what else the pair discussed.Video transcription starting from 3:30 up to 4:55. Although the ageing computer would beg Chell for "death", the player would need to haul the hardware around and use it to clamber out of an environment, leaving Johnson without further hope of salvation. In another cut sequence, players would come across a computer with the mind of Aperture founder Cave Johnson stored in its memory. Turrets have never been seen to ambulate in Portal, but Valve apparently intended to have it teleport around behind the player like the famously creepy Watson. The turret would then follow Chell around. Having assisted the turrets in some way, Chell would be rewarded by their king - the giant, jungle-print creature spotted in the ending sequence and in warning videos around the facilities - by being married to a turret dressed as a bride. In one, Chell would discover a "lost tribe" of turrets living in the ruins of Aperture Science. Speaking at a PAX Prime 2012 panel, Valve's Erik Wolpaw and Chet Faliszek, the writers of Portal 2, revealed a couple of sequences which didn't make the final cut.
