Hello there The lyrics are translated but set out in a rather confusing way at: http://www.songlyrics.co.nz/lyrics/c/charlottechurch/theprayer.htm What they've done here is pick the first line in Italian within the main lyrics and make it the first line of the translation. The second line in Italian in the song is the second line in English in the translation. And so on.... Since this is far from convenient I've rearranged it for you, with tiny changes keeping slightly more strictly to the original Italian (and hopefully proving I do understand the language and am not just messing about!) I pray you'll be our eyes And watch us where we go And help us to be wise In times when we don't know Let this be our prayer As we go our way Lead us to a place Guide us with your Grace To a place where we'll be safe The light that you give us I pray we'll find your light Will stay in our hearts And hold it in our hearts Reminding us When stars go out each night You are an everlasting star In my prayer Let this be our prayer There's so much faith When shadows fill our day Lead us to a place Guide us with your grace Give us faith so we'll be safe. We dream of a world without more violence A world of Justice and of hope Everyone give your hand to your neighbor Symbol of peace and brotherhood The strength you give us We ask that life be kind Is the wish that And watch us from above Everyone may find love We hope each soul will find Around and within himself Another soul to love Let this be our prayer Just like every child Just like every child Needs to find a place, Guide us with your grace Give us faith so we'll be safe And the faith that You've lit inside us I feel will save us In some parts the translation sounds a bit awkward; it's almost as if you have to listen to either the Italian lines OR the English lines. Or think of it as two intertwining songs. But I may be making things too complicated. It's beautiful to listen to and that's what matters. Hope this answers your question. Please ask if you want me to clarify anything. And happy listening. My search strategy was "Charlotte Church" + lyrics And I checked here to be sure of Josh Groban's involvement: http://www.songlyrics.co.nz/lyrics/c/charlottechurch.htm |
