Un'anima sola
Mario Frangoulis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Anima Mea
Gratia Plena
Dominus Tecum...
Amen...

Ave Maria
ascolta un'anima in piena
come un torrente di dubbi

che trascina ricordi ed oblio

Ave Maria
ascolta un'anima sola
da una terra che è croce
si leva nella notte e va la mia voce

Tu, senza luogo e senza tempo
l'anelito dell'Alto
custode di segreti e di verità

D'avanti a un modo in silenzio
leggera come il vento
tu sei a viso aperto
la gioia che da la libertà

Ave Maria
ascolta un'anima sola
Quando so d'essere in pace
come un sole esplode in me la tua voce

Tu, senza luogo e senza tempo
l'anelito dell'Alto
custode di segreti e di verità
Piegato il mondo non ha scampo
tu, forte come un canto
sollevil dall'inganno
la mia fedelta con la dignità

Ave Maria
sfioro distese di stelle
oltre peccati e misteri
e giungo al cuore della vita mia

Ave Maria
