Mantovani His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This land is mine, God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain
Then I see a land where children can run free

So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong

Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong

To make this land our home




If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine

This brave and ancient land to me
This piece of land is both valiant and age-old

Good music is heavenly.
Calming
Inspiring
Resting

Our world does not need the tone of today.
It inspires us to rush without inspiring thought of why rush.
Constantly in competition
Rather than harmony.

We may desire community

We as a society keep fighting,
Competing.

Faster! Faster!

Hermosa musica....tenia 15 años...la escuchaba en una radiodifusora 620 decia el locutor " la musica que llegó para quedarse". Hoy tengo 71 años y sigo deleitando mis oídos.Gracias DIOS....por permitirme estar todavía con vida. Saludos a todos los que lean esto. Desde Mérida Yucatán, México.

Exacto amigo, esa música la escuchaba en un radio viejito que tenían mis padres, recuerdo que era de bulbos y que como no tenía botón de encendido sólo estaba la barilla en donde lo llevaba entonces me subía de panza a mi cama para prenderlo (tenía el radio en el suelo a un costado de mi cama) y desde ahí lo encendía para que no me diera toques... 😌

Por cielo que linda es Mérida... 🥰

@chollyrd8796

Maganda talaga ang mga ganitong klase ng musika lalo na sa gabi habang ikaw ay nagpapahinga. Napakasarap sa pandinig, Para kang ipinaghehele.Nakakawala ng pagod.

@rebecasanchez4830

Saludos a mi hermosa Mérida... 🥰

When I was a senior in high school (1959) my girlfriend asked me if I had ever heard of Mantovani and I had listened to him many times at my aunt's house. When I mentioned this to my aunt she gave me several 78 records of Mantovani. My girl and I would take a break from Elvis, The Platters, Chuck Berry, and such. Great music to listen to with someone you are in love with. After four years we called it quits and now my wife of 58 years and I listen to Alexa playing Mantovani for us every night. I often think about what may have been, but I came out way ahead.

En el año 1963, llegó a mi casa el primer disco L.P en sonido estereofónico. El : Mantovani Film Encores.
A partir de ese momento nunca he dejado de oírlo. Con los años, fui comprando todos sus discos. ¿ Porqué ? Porque Mantovani y su orquesta te llenan el alma y el espíritu, co por lo general lo hace la música de los GRANDES GENIOS que la han compuesto y producido.
Tengo 76 años y sigo oyéndolo y lo haré hasta el final de mi existencia.

@sylviavaldes1682

I agree with Fernando Jimenez.
