“Tre giorni son che Nina” is one of the best-known arias of the Italian Baroque. The lyrics refer to the concern of a man for his beloved Nina, who is in bed seriously ill. This is one of its performances by Yalda. 

Italian text:
Tre giorni son che Nina, che Nina, che Nina
In letto se ne sta, in letto se ne sta.
Pifferi, timbali, cembali, svegliate mia Ninetta,
Svegliate mia Ninetta, acciò non dorma più

English translation:
For three long days my Nina, my Nina, my Nina
Upon her bed has lain, upon her bed has lain
Louder and louder, ye players all, awaken my Ninetta
Awaken my Ninetta, that she may sleep no more.

Tre giorni son che nina by Yalda (live performance 2012)

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by

Walking in the Air iL Tempo Vola

softly, deftly
music shall surround you
feel it, hear it
secretly possess you
