Emmanuel

 

EMMANUEL

 

1. Dall'orizzonte una grande luce
viaggia nella storia
e lungo gli anni ha vinto il buio
facendosi Memoria,
and illuminating our life
clear reveals us
that you cannot live if you do not seek
the truth...
From a thousand roads we arrive in Rome
on the steps of faith,
sentiamo l'eco della Parola
che risuona ancora
da queste mura, from this sky
for the whole world:
and I live today, 
e l'Uomo Vero
Cristo tra noi.

Refrain
We are here
under the same light
under his cross
singing with one voice.
E' l'Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
E' L'Emmanuel, Emmanuel.

2. From the city of whoever paid
blood for love
and changed the old world
we want to leave.
Following Christ, together with Pietro,
faith is reborn in us,
Living word that renews us
and grows in us.

We are here
under the same light
under his cross
singing with one voice.
E' l'Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
E' l'Emmanuel, Emmanuel.

3. A great gift that God has given us
and Christ, his Son,
and humanity is renewed,
and saved in him.
E' vero uomo, and true God,
and the Bread of Life,
than to every man to his brothers
laughs.

We are here
under the same light
under his cross
singing with one voice.
E' l'Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
E' l'Emmanuel, Emmanuel.

4. Death is killed, life has won,
and Easter around the world,
a wind blows in every man
the fruitful Spirit.
Which carries on in history
the Church his bride,
under the gaze of Mary,
community.

We are here
under the same light
under his cross
singing with one voice.
E' l'Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
E' l'Emmanuel, Emmanuel.

5. We debtors of the past
of centuries of history,
of lives given for love,
of saints who believed,
of men who at high altitudes
they teach to fly,
of those who know how to change history,
like Jesus.

We are here
under the same light
under his cross
singing with one voice.
E' l'Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
E' l'Emmanuel, Emmanuel.

6. E' giunta un'era di primavera,
it's time to change.
E' oggi il giorno sempre nuovo
per ricominciare,
to make turns, new words
and convert the heart,
to tell the world, to every man:
Lord Jesus.

We are here
under the same light
under his cross
singing with one voice.

E' l'Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
E' l'Emmanuel, Emmanuel
(on a tone)

E' l'Emmanuel, God with us
Christ among us.
Sotto la sua croce
E' l'Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Under the same cross
singing with one voice.
(on a tone)

E' l'Emmanuel, God with us
Christ among us.
Sotto la sua croce
E' l'Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Under the same cross
singing with one voice.

POLISH VERSION

1. Great light from beyond the horizon
portrays the story
and overcoming the darkness of time
becomes the Memorial.
Illuminating our life
he clearly reveals to us:
that only by seeking the Truth
life makes sense.
Paths of the world, 
following the traces of faith,
we are coming to Rome,
to hear the echo of the Word there,
which still resounds.
These are Roman walls, it's roman heaven
transmit to the world:
that He lives - real man,
Christ among us.

I my z Nim:
embraced by his light,
united by his cross,
we sing with one voice
Emmanuel, 
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.

2. From city, in which for love
much blood has been spilled,
which changed the image of the world
we set out confidently.
Together with Piotr, gazing at the Lord,
we strengthen our faith;
the living Word renews us
and grows in us.

I my z Nim ....

under the watchful eye of the Virgin Mary,
community of hearts.

I my z Nim ....

like Christ the Lord.

6. The hour of spring has already come,
a time of grace to change.
Don't wait tomorrow, "Today" is a gift -
Take it eagerly.
Sincere returns, new words,
heart conversion.
Christ carries everyone
news time.

I my z Nim ....
embraced by his light,
united by his cross,
we sing with one voice
Emmanuel, 
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
