“Cara Mia Addio” is an Italian Aria from Portal 2. In the game, the song is performed by several turrets (who were voiced by Ellen McLain) as a farewell to the player, Chell.
“Cara Mia Addio” in English means “How I adore you!”
Italian:
Cara bella
Cara mia bella!
Mia bambina
Oh ciel,
Ch'ella stima!
Ch'ella stima!
O cara mia, addio!
La mia bambina cara
Perché non passi lontana?
'Si lontana da Scienza!
Cara, cara mia bambina
Ah, mia bella!
Ah, mia cara!
Ah, mia cara!
Ah, mia bambina!
Oh cara, cara mia
[Instrumental break]
Ah, mia cara!
Ah, mia cara!
Ah, mia bambina!
Oh cara, cara mia!
English Translation:
Beautiful dear, my darling beauty!
My child, oh heavens (Chell)!
How I adore you!
How I adore you!
Oh my dear, farewell!
My dear child
Why don't you walk far away?
So far away from Science!
My dear, dear baby
Ah, my beloved!
Ah, my dear!
Ah, my dear!
Ah, my dear!
Ah, my little girl!
Oh dear, my dear
[Instrumental break]
Ah, my dear!
Ah, my dear!
Ah, my little girl!
Oh dear, my dear

The composer, Mike Morasky was the driving force behind the Turret Opera. He wrote all the music. He requested that I use my legit voice (operatic sound) on some of the takes. He chose the takes to use. He asked me to make up some word...
