Lyrics
Alla mente confusa
Di dubbio e di dolore
Soccorri, o mio Signore,
Col raggio della fé.
Sollevala dal peso
Che la declina al fango:
A te sospiro e piango,
Mi raccomando a te.
Sai che la vita mia
Si strugge appoco appoco,
Come la cera al foco,
Come la neve al sol.
All’anima che anela
Di ricovrarti in braccio
Rompi, Signore, il laccio
Che le impedisce il vol.
Signor, pietà!
Lyrics translation
To the confused mind
Of doubt and pain
Help, O My Lord!,
With the ray of faith.
Lift her off the weight
That it declines to the mud:
To you I sigh and cry,
I recommend it to you.
You know my life
He pours apoco apoco,
Like wax at the focus,
Like snow in the sun.
To the soul that yearns
To admit you in your arms
Break, Sir, the shoelace
That prevents you from the vol.
Lord, Have Mercy!
