Benedictus (Cantico Alla Musica) (translation)

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 realize that
My essence is rhythm and melody
Changes of mood and harmony
Oh music, rationality and madness
Listening to you I understood

Who I am, all my reasons
What love is...Love

Benedictus...
