English Lyrics
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command, my love
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time, my love
And it will last till the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face, your face
Your face, your face
I'm a 61 year old ex-roadie biker and I just sobbed my heart out listening to your sublime singing of La Prima Volta. I was feeling a bit low and sorry for myself this morning, I am severely disabled housebound blah blah blah, I open my tablet and you pop into my feed. I knew I had to watch, especially at this time, as it was recorded at Kiev Opera House. Thank you so much Paul for helping me to feel like life may get us down but it's a heck of a lot better than the alternative lol
Oh and hello from London to all in the Ukraine, my love and prayers go out to you
🏴🇬🇧🇺🇦
I get it. Lovely stated and true.

Что вы знаете про Украину дураки сидя дома и слушая ваши ложные каналы
His voice is a gift from God for us.... Absolutely amazing.
❤
Yes definitely ❤
This song reminds me of my mother. She passed nearly 2 years now. She loved Paul Potts, and she cried when I showed her this video. Now I cry when I watch it. I miss you ma.
she always beside you wherever you go ..! Sorry for my english is not good
@@pmn15021995 Its called LOVE
Sorry for your loss! May she rest in peace!
@@susanandmontew7713 Thank you.
♥️
I am SO glad he was discovered. His voice and talent are treasures to the world of music. Thank you, Mr. Potts.
My Favorite Reality TV Moment is his debut. Goosebumps every time I watch it. His success in music and pictures is amazing. I hope someday he comes to North America and we can see him in person.
i so very agree
Beyond comment,almost
@@amijomann3385 I came upon that episode of Britain’s got talent… and how they sort of mocked him when he said he was going to sing opera. What a great performance!!!!
Anybody from Britain, should be so proud of this man, as his original status, was most humbling, and he has done so well in supporting our country, through out the world.
When you come from the ground level you really feel the highs, all of them, he truly means it. I worked for the same company he did and am still on my way up there,..
His status , no matter what , has been great since he came into this world... nature...nurture...I've always believed in Paul Pots.
Read his history.
Anybody from anywhere should be proud. Excellent.
Spot on
Paul Potts is the best example of a God-given talent , ever.
Paul Potts not only has the voice of an angel,he is so humble,and sings with such deep genuine emotion.,he touches many hearts in ways that few tenors ever have.
What’s really nice is the guy is living his dream , from mobile phone salesman to opera star ...good for him👍
Paul, this was one of the best performances I've ever heard in my life. Your singing brings tears to my eyes every single time I hear this. I enjoy listening to your performances more than any other opera singer that has been on stage.
T
I love his voice, sincerity, interpretation, and humbleness as he sings. He touches my heart and soul. So beautiful. Amazing Gift from God.
This sends chills, straight up chills!!! What I wouldn’t give to see him perform this live!!!
I LOVE that this regular Joe is now standing where he is. It makes me want to cry happy tears. It's pure genius to sing this song in another language.
Well done that man! From car phone salesman to World Class opera singer. Beat that.
Gotta hand it to you Paul.... From one large tough guy to another.... No one know's how deep this song can hit unless you've been through it all. A joy and sadness all wrapped up into a soulful tear. Blessings buddy.
Damn straight 🤘🏼🤘🏼🏴
Agreed; So nicely said.
Knowing his life story makes me enjoy his singing all the more. And I imagine, that he truly cherishes every accolade he receives. He deserves it!! Way to go Paul.....way to go!! So happy you achieved your dream!!
This is one of the rarer occasions when somebody fulfilled his ambitions, great to see, and wish him all the best for the future, brilliant performance.
I have 3 daughters ...but I have to admit I secretly allways wanted a son ...then at 54 God blessed me with Alfie-George...this song has words in which remind me so much of the first time I saw his face and held him in my arms...I will never forget that first little smile. ❤
Don’t forget to love your daughters, too ❤
@sallyh.2695 awww bless of course i do ..they are my princesses...

God bless you and your family. 🫶
The stillness, the total aww & the standing ovation of the audience, says it all.
Each & everyone there that evening, will never ever forget it.
A totally stunning vocal performance & one of a kind.
Thank you Paul.
Paul sings from his heart and soul
Instant standing ovation...and well deserved.
2manyspruces ...Así es, bien merecido, no todos los tenores logran la "parada instantánea"...Es el teatro de la opera de Kiev (Ucrania)...saludos a través del tiempo desde Lima-Perú...(en plena cuarentena).
They gave him a standing ovation, no need to say more. Bravo! Paul
An ordinary man with an extra ordinary Voice living the dream !
You are a diamond, you are the best creation of nature. God kissed you!
A guy selling mobile phones and living in near poverty enters the competition on a coin flip and the rest is history. Amazing!
A very deep soul is in his voice, so clear and rich, such a gift to me hearing this.
A depth of expression and emotion that is real
Perfectly said
Thousands of people can't be wrong of what they enjoy. Millions of people who buy his albums have to know what sounds good to their ears.
As the gentleman said…. how many of these people are still alive. Life is about family, friends, and great moments like listening to this music by Paul Potts. How did the world screw this up?
When my soul needs refreshing, I watch your videos. Thank you, God, for this man.
One of the best tenors I have every heard. And I have heard hundreds.
Sorry that I'm commenting again, but he truly has a gift from God....amazing!
you are right you know
You are most welcome. He sure has.
por supuesto
Yes this is so
Agreed!
What strikes you When you first hear him Sing, Is the total soul of his voice, ' and not just the power of it. It is so emotionally beautiful, that it transports you to mountains, and lakes, before Even heaven begins.
I remember the night Paul courageously came on the stage to share his talent with the world. He gave us his heart and passion, and now, in a win-win situation, his dream has come true to enchant us with his uniquely tender yet strong voice. How lucky we are to be contemporaneous with Paul!
87 people don't like this. Hmmm, here is a man who took courage, his heart, and passion in both hands tossed them into the air with no way of knowing the outcome and followed his dream. Who cares about his technique, interpretation, or if he's breathing "correctly." Not many of us have the courage to pursue and realize our dreams and live our passions. Bravo, Mr. Potts! Bravo!
The negative critics are" wanna be singers that never "made it." Jealously is why they did not like this performance.
What emotions. Have not heard this song sound ever so beautiful as this.
One of the most beautifully haunting songs ever. Done so majestically. Thanks Paul. You're lovely.
Now, while eating dinner at my desk, I happened across this one by Paul Potts. I have never heard him sing this one before. Listening, I could not hold back the tears. One of the most beautiful songs in the world. It reminds me of the priceless love I found in my late husband. A medical professional with the most beautiful caring heart I have ever known. Sadly our family lost him much too soon. Paul Potts is a gifted and beautiful human being. Thank you for taking that step to risk and be discovered. So so beautiful.......Priceless.
He used to install car phones and singing was his dream. Never laugh at anyone's dream. Some come true.
So true.....
Dream big, small ones will become reallty. Specially the ones you think LL never happen...
Underdogz on TOP, lay low...
Carphone warehouse doesn't actually mean Car Phones installation, it just means mobile phone sales
When I think of opera, I think of Paul and Luciano. The greats of opera singers.
Oh my....this rendition straight to my soul❤❤❤
Probably the best opera singer to listen to for a bit of peace while all around us there is mayhem all over the world
All the top Opera singers have an aria that's a perfect match ; this is Paul at his best.!!!!!!!!!!!
This performance brought tears to my eyes.. amazing voice!
Yes you'r right! beautifull voice!
A mi también se me humedecen los ojos cada vez que vuelvo a escuchar este tema. Y no se porqué...pero siento que me emociono mucho...
Fue tan grandiosa su presentación en El Teatro de la Opera en Kiev (Ucrania)..que hasta los músicos se muestran felices ante la gran ovación del público. Y felices nosotros también ante tan grande cantante de Opera.
saludos desde Lima -Perú...(en plena cuarentena).
Hearing this song reminds me of my wife the first time I saw her face.... I love my wife til God takes me Home.
This is the first time I heard him sing this song.....so beautiful, tears are flowing.
I always loved the Roberta Flack version of this song a classic in its own right. Dare I say this is even better, I had forgotten what a superb tenor Paul is. He sings it beautifully and with such passion. The instant standing ovation said it all. Stunning.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER POTTS ❣FOR YOUR WONDERFUL OPERA 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
i am a US Navy Veteran of 17 years.Search and Rescue........and this made me cry.
Maxx Madd Thank you for your service!
You aren't the only one to cry. Have a listen to his version of Mamma.

Sorry maar ben je niet een beetje te jong voor een US Navy Veteran.Maakte zelf uit van een speciale eenheid(KCT) maar was wel een paar jaar ouder dan jij dus 17 jaar kan niet.
I agree with Karin Jongsma, this is the best rendition of this lovely song I have heard. This man has a most lovely and powerful voice. I hope he goes far. He is very enjoyable to hear and he surely must have a great future in music. I was moved by his performance.
This song brings the best in Paul Potts…Amazing voice!🎶
His voice is amazing. I could listen to him all day and night.
So proud of u paul.....well bloody done fella. from nothing to greatness. The world is a better place for hearing your voice.
God bless you, Paul Potts. You have been given a wonderful talent, and I rejoice you are able to share it with the world.
His voice is made for this type of song. It is absolutely stunning!
With most gratitude i Thank you Sir Pott for lifting me up above today’s world absurdities. Your heavenly voice touches my heart caressing my soul with God’s blessing. Thanks God for you are. 🌹 🕊 💞
If I could hit like a hundred times it still would not be enough to explain how I feel about this performance.
Paul Potts real personal life. A love at first sight is Gods gift to human being. Everytime I hear Him sing this piece I do remember my personal love atory.
What I would give to hear this man perform this live. Atta boy Mr Potts!!!❤❤❤
Always I heard the voice of God in this young man's voice! It touches my heart!
Hello Paul, I saw now the film about you and it moved me to tears.
Many compliments to you. Greetings from Italy, Martina
A dream well deserved , and what a beautiful voice !
His voice raises the vibration of the Earth.
Absolut minunat, o voce atât de frumoasă și caldă, oferă publicului tot din el, atâta emoție, ceea ce contează enorm. Ce bine că a participat la concurs, altfel, acest briliant rămânea ascuns omenirii. Un înger cântă pe scenă. ❤
This sends a shiver down my spine .... beautifully sung
His voice means life for me, i totally love Paul Potts.

Fabulous, fantastic rendition.
The audience was spellbound, living every second of that Magic Evening.
Thank you, Mr. Paul Potts -- I've watched this vídeo dozens of times and your performance is always fresh, anew.
The real voice of an angel 😇
The most beautiful love song I know, absolutely captivating version.

Paul Potts in one word: exceptional. Thanks
Exceptional, indeed
I was just watching random videos on youtube of the talent shows when I happened across Paul's audition for Britain's got talent! I am not an avid opera fan, but do appreciate a beautiful voice! Maybe it started when I was young and I heard my mother (a country fan) play Pavarotti a few times on the record player! I watched as Paul was very nervous and lacked self confidence, as many of us do in life, and I was pulling for him hoping he would amaze!. But as soon as he began to sing, I was HOOKED, and I have been trying to watch as many videos of his I could! A true talent! A true success story! A humble man that I am so glad to see has a wonderful life ahead of him, for himself as well as the happiness he brings into other people's lives with his talent! And you now add another life long fan! BRAVO MR POTTS!
Paul potts was absolutely pitch perfect singing this beautifully emotional song everything about this performance was spot on I wish the cameraman had got close ups of the people who were so very lucky to have experienced this incredible event the response when he finished singing was electric everyone stood and gave him a standing ovation if you appreciate good music you would be in the same frame of mind as I was I was elated my heart felt like it would Burst with sheer joy this was a very rare and beautiful experience you are the real deal Paul bravo bravo
Unbelievable!......absolutely incredible!
Yes, incredible power his voice
how nice to see a standing ovation for paul.we can produce great singers,
Yes, GOD can create many awesome things.
I've heard certain music critics say that Paul Potts is not a true opera-singer. Well, as far as I am concerned they can keep their opinions to themselves because Mr. Paul Potts is an "Opera-singer". Just because he never had the opportunity to train under an established opera coach does not take away from his given talent. His passion and willingness to give his craft his very best efforts shows in his performances. Bravo - Mr. Potts, keep up your good work!
Those same people also rejected Andrea Boceli when he first became well known because he wasn't a trained opera singer.
He is better off
Some people have to learn to sing and other are Born with it live Paul Potts ❤
Oh my living God... I mean, wow. Such a musical phenom it's incredible how well he can sing 👏👏👏
Absolutely beautiful...captivating..ethereal..transcending..a gift not only for my ears but for my soul.
Absolutely speechless performance, absolutely speechless... Thank you!
Beautiful!
When the daily grind drags you down and you just want something to bring peace to your soul..here it is. Brings an old man to tears every time 😊
Charlie Balthrop I’m the same way. I have watched every UA-cam posting at least a hundred times.
Still remember seeing PP for the first time on BGT. Even more blown away now by the pure, clear, beautiful tones in his voice. SO GLAD he didn't give up on Opera and keep on working at Car Phone Warehouse.
LA Prima Volta? This song sung in Italian? Yes! Beautifully performed Paul.
The song was written by Gordon Lightfoot in English a hall a famer Canadian singer
@@jean-pierreclaudettepetrin4932 I thought it was written by Ewan McColl
His voice makes me cry tears of joy, for he inspires hope for an existence that seems hopeless in so many ways.
Wonderful and so beautiful. I love his voice , a God given gift from Heaven . May God Bless you and reveal himself to you in a very real way.
You showed them Paul, opera for the masses not the so called elites
YES!!!!!!! AGREE FULLY, BRAVO PAUL!!!!
He can make his voice so tender. Beautiful. Definitely a love song .
More than Amazing 😍
Wow, that was beautiful.
Absolutely Beautiful
So humble Mr. Potts.....great!
Невероятно прекрасно!!!! Как я хотела бы хоть раз попасть на его концерт! История этого человека просто уникальна, как он сам и его голос. Всего самого лучшего и от всей души !
Я согласен! Его история и его голос уникальны
Я тут после фильма "Мечты сбываются"🌸🌸🌸
16 марта по стс идёт😊
Wow, what a voice!
The most moving voice i have listened to in my 80 years on this planet brilliant.
Dawn, I hope you are still with us , I also have many enjoyments of the classics, from Canada / Francais
He just makes me smile inside
So tender. Brought tears to my eyes.
His voice and his story are just amazing...Paul is an inspiration for millions..!!!
Regards from the end of the world, Chile
Magnificent, Paul! No one sings this better! God bless and keep you. ❤️🙏
you are great my friend !!!!!!!
Whhooowww, BEAUTIFUL
Great to see someone getting what, they always wanted in life. He so deserves it too.
I just for the first time seen this clip . Wonderful, wonderful Mr Potts . My favorite all time song … Roberta Flack rendition, is stunning. Luke Evans rendition is beautiful and others too . You have taken this song to heaven , For those who know true love, we cry . Thank you from NEW YORK .
Quiet night. We needed some soul touching music and Remembered Paul. Still calms the minds....
Every time I listen to Paul, I love his voice more each time. The man is amazing and I for one, am very thankful that he did BGT and got what he deserved.
Just ONE word : AWESOME
