mental diversions......

ok, so as a way to cope with this insanity i have become obsessed with finding the english lyrics to viss d'arte...a lovely aria from tosca.....with google searches one finds out merely which opera companies include dual lyrics flashed below or above the artists as they perform......as well as critical dismay at this practice.....there are also reviews of artists...and how they did or did not execute said lyrics well....oh my....why can one find lyrics to bob dylan songs on the first try,...but not classical opera.....especially such a famous piece.......this is very vexing....i simply want to know what i am listening to when i hear stafford's cd......is she asking for the trash to be taken out......or for expressing her undying love..........that is the deal with my lack of ear for foreign language.....it could be either or both...as i hear it....
