Original text and translations

Italian text Dolc'è sentire come, nel mio cuore, ora, umilmente, sta nascendo amore; dolc'è capire che non so più solo, ma che son parte d’una immensa vita che, generosa, risplende intorno a me, dono di Lui, del suo immenso amor. C’ha dato i cieli e le chiare stelle, fratello sole e sorella luna, la madre terra con frutti, prati e fiori, il fuoco, il vento, l’aria e l’acqua pura, fonte di vita per le sue creature: dono di Lui, del suo immenso amore; dono di Lui, del suo immenso amor.

English translation It is sweet to feel how, in my heart, love is humbly being born; it is sweet to understand that I'm not alone but, rather, part of the immensity of life which, generously, glitters all around me, a gift of His, of His immense love. He gave us the heavens and the clear stars, brother sun and sister moon, mother earth with her fruit, fields and flowers, fire, wind, air and clear water, source of life for His creation: a gift of His, of His immense love [× 2].
