Benedictus (Cantico Alla Musica) Lyrics

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
