Mario Frangoulis Benedictus (Cantico Alla Musica)
I want to tell you this,
sweet music,
now that you have made a leaf of me,
may you be blessed forever, I say
I owe you my lightness and more.
I owe you the richness I hold
cherished in my heart, laid bare for you.
And to learn, one day I stole
your essence, rhythm and melody
changes of mood and harmony.
Listening to you I understand God, and Love.
What a secret!
It was not that distant after all, it was there,
just behind my forehead
where both illumination and obscurity reside.
Listening to you one day I realized that
my essence is rhythm and melody,
changes of mood and harmony
oh music, rationality and madness
listening to you I understand
who I am, all my reasons
what love is... Love
