Skinny Pete plays it in the music store scene in Breaking Bad season 5 episode 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQlAmtWHPII) and he makes more mistakes than me.

The instrument is Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 grand piano and a few touches of synth.

Updated with a better take with less reverb on Feb 23, 2014.

''Va pensiero'' from the Opera "Nabucco" - Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi. Chorus and Orchestra of the Accademia Nacionale di Santa Cecilia.

Va’ pensiero sull’ali dorate
Attraversa le montagne e vola
Sugli oceani.
Raggiungi la terra, trova il luogo
Dove vanno tutti i bambini
Ogni notte dopo aver sentito questa ninnananna.
Lì troverai i loro eroi vivi
Che proteggono la loro innocenza
Benedicili tutti perchè il loro animo semplice
è tanto puro e meraviglioso.

Va’ pensiero sull’ali dorate
Fai continuare questo sogno bellissimo
Per tutta la notte.

Presta loro le tue ali dorate
Tutte le paure voleranno via
Prendili per mano
Aiutali a trovare una strada facile
Riportali alla luce, riportali alla luce
Alla quale appartenevano un tempo
Dove possono restare
Bambini per tutto il tempo che vogliono.

Va’ pensiero sull’ali dorate
Attraversa le montagne e vola
Sugli oceani.
Raggiungi la terra, trova il luogo
Dove vanno tutti i bambini
Ogni notte dopo aver sentito questa ninnananna.
Ogni notte dopo aver sentito questa ninna nanna

Traducción al castellano:

¡Vuela pensamiento, con alas doradas,
pósate en las praderas y en las cimas
donde exhala su suave fragancia
el aire dulce de la tierra natal!
¡Saluda a las orillas del Jordán
y a las destruidas torres de Sión!
¡Oh, mi patria, tan bella y abandonada!
¡Oh recuerdo tan grato y fatal!
Arpa de oro de los fatídicos vates,
¿por qué cuelgas silenciosa del sauce?
Revive en nuestros pechos el recuerdo,
¡háblanos del tiempo que fue!
Canta un aire de crudo lamento
al destino de Jerusalén
o que te inspire el Señor una melodía
que infunda virtud al padecimiento.
que infunda virtud al padecimiento.
que infunda virtud al padecimiento.
virtud al padecimiento.

Va pensiero / Nabucco. Guiussepe Verdi

Bach

After being inspired by Markus Zusak's The Book Thief, I penned a number of themes that I felt particularly resonated with how I experienced the novel. I then vowed to myself that should a movie adaption come about, I would compose the score.
Now it appears that a film of The Book Thief is forthcoming, and as such I feel it necessary to get my work out there. This piece is intended to be the main theme, played mostly whenever Liesel's obsession with books is portrayed, and also at other key moments.
