About This Song
About "Nabucco, Act III: Va', pensiero, sull'ali dorate (Live)" by Coro Del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
Verdi's exiled Hebrews send 'Va', pensiero' soaring on golden wings, a chorus of longing that has become Italy's second anthem. The melody lifts like a bird over Babylon's waters, each phrase a tear suspended between memory and impossible return.
