Jun 22, 2014

How can you not fall in love with this song and its lyrics? So powerful and inspiring!!! Whew! And that last note!!!

UNO SU MILLE BY GIANNI MORANDI

Se sei a terra non strisciare mai / If you’re down, don’t ever crawl

se ti diranno: sei finito, non ci credere / If they say you: you’re done/finished, don’t ever believe it

devi contare solo su di te / You must rely only on you

Uno su mille ce la fa / One in a thousand do/stand it

ma quanto è dura la salita / and how hard it’s the climb/exit

in gioco c’è la vita / at stake it’s the life

Il passato non potrà / What’s done it’s done, it could never

tornare uguale mai / be the same again

forse meglio perché no, tu che ne sai / maybe it’s better, why not, what do you know about it

non hai mai creduto in me / you’ve never believed in me

ma dovrai cambiare idea / but you’ll have to change your mind/idea

La vita è come la marea / Life is like the tide

ti porta in secca o in alto mare / it leads you on dry or on high sea

com’è la luna va / as the moon goes

Non ho barato né bleffato mai / I’ve never cheated, nor bluffed

e questa sera ho messo a nudo la mia anima / and this evening I stripped out my soul

ho perso tutto ma ho ritrovato me / I’ve lost everything but I’ve found myself

Uno su mille ce la fa / One in a thousand do/stand it

ma quanto è dura la salita / and how hard it’s the climb/exit

in gioco c’è la vita / at stake it’s the life

Tu non sai che peso ha / You don’t know how much it weights

questa musica leggera / this soft music

ti ci innamori e vivi ma ci puoi morire quando è sera / you fall in love and you live, but you can die when evening comes

io di voce ce ne avrei / I have voice, but not

ma non per gridare aiuto / to cry for help

Nemmeno tu mi hai mai sentito / You didn’t even heard me

mi son tenuto il mio segreto / I’ve kept my secret

tu sorda e io ero muto / you were deaf and I was mute

Se sei a terra non strisciare mai / If you’re down, don’t ever crawl

se ti diranno: sei finito, non ci credere / If they say you: you’re done/finished, don’t ever believe it

finchè non suona la campana vai / keep on going until the bell rings

Ephesians 6:11-18

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you maybe able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm thenwith the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness inplace, and with your feet fitted with readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Inaddition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flamingarrows of the evil one.
