I am a Italian Catholic young man and this is my first topic created here. I’ld like to share with you some Italian Catholic songs (songs that are normally sung during the Mass), translating them to understand them better. And I’ld like if there were other people like me that could do this. I’ld begin with a very famous one (here): Tu sei la mia vita (You are my life) or Symbolum 77, written by don Pierangelo Sequeri in 1977.

Tu sei la mia vita, altro io non ho;
You are my life, I don’t have anymore (i have only this, my life)
Tu sei la mia strada, la mia verità.
You are my street, my truth
Nella tua parola io camminerò
In Your word, i will walk
finché avrò respiro, fino a quando Tu vorrai.
Until i will have breath, until when You will want
Non avrò paura sai, se Tu sei con me;
I won’t be afraid, You know, if You are with me
io ti prego: resta con me.
I plead You: saty with me

Credo in te, Signore, nato da Maria.
I believe in You, Lord, born by Mary
Figlio eterno e santo, uomo come noi.
Eternal and Saint Son, human like us
Morto per amore, vivo in mezzo a noi:
Dead for sake, alive in among us
una cosa sola con il Padre e con i tuoi,
A only thing with the Father and with Yours (Your parents)
fino a quando - io lo so - Tu ritornerai
Until when - i know - You’ll come back
per aprirci il Regno di Dio.
To open the Kingdom of God to us

Tu sei la mia forza, altro io non ho;
You are my strenght, i don’t have anymore
Tu sei la mia pace, la mia libertà.
You are my peace, my freedom
Niente nella vita ci separerà:
Nothing, in life, will separate us
so che la tua mano forte non mi lascerà.
I know Your strong hand won’t let me
So che da ogni male Tu mi libererai;
I know that from every evil You will free me
e nel tuo perdono vivrò.
And in Your forgiveness I will live

Padre della vita, noi crediamo in Te;
Father of life, we believe in You
Figlio salvatore, noi speriamo in Te;
Son saviour, we hope in You
Spirito d’amore, vieni in mezzo a noi:
Spirit of Love, come among us
Tu da mille strade ci raduni in unità.
You from 1000 streets put us in unity
E per mille strade poi dove Tu vorrai,
And for 1000 streets, then, where You will want
noi saremo il seme di Dio.
We will be the seed of God.

I advice you to listen to the music (you can find it on youtube) and to read the italian and english text. I hope my translation is understandable ahaha
