O Pulchra Terra
[Intro] Aura super silvas transit, folia lenta cantant. Terra aperit cor suum, sub luce prima. [Verse 1] In valle viridi flumen currit, argento inter saxa clara. Salix inclinata aquam tangit, et tremit in vento. [Chorus] O pulchra terra, mater colorum, caelum et mare, unus motus. Cor meum audit vocem tuam, vivimus sub eodem sole. [Verse 2] In pinis odor resinae manet, sol calidus super cortices. Aves describunt arcus altos, alas sine timore. [Chorus] O pulchra terra, mater colorum, caelum et mare, unus motus. Cor meum audit vocem tuam, vivimus sub eodem sole. [Verse 3] Post pluviam rosa surgit, gutta lucet in herba. Musci mollis, humus nigra, secretum vitae servat. [Chorus] O pulchra terra, mater colorum, caelum et mare, unus motus. Cor meum audit vocem tuam, vivimus sub eodem sole. [Verse 4] Autumnus aurea folia spargit, frigus venit per campum. Sed radix infra quieta vigilat, spem in corde terrae. [Bridge] Respira⦠ventus prope est. Audi⦠nihil perit in silentio. [Verse 5] Vere novo germen aperitur, rivus iter suum invenit. Omnis dies formam mutat, sed pulchritudo manet. [Extended Chorus] O pulchra terra, mater colorum, caelum et mare, unus motus. Cor meum audit vocem tuam, vivimus sub eodem sole. O pulchra terra, vox sine fine, flumen, silva, nubes, avis. Manus nostrae custodiant vitam, ut cantet mundus integer. O pulchra terra, mater colorum, caelum et mare, unus motus. Cor meum audit vocem tuam, vivimus sub eodem sole. [Outro] Aura super silvas transit, folia lenta cantant. Terra aperit cor suum, et nos una cum illa. ------------------------ Translation O Pulchra Terra - O Beautiful Earth [Intro] A breeze passes over the forests, the leaves sing slowly. The earth opens her heart under the first light. [Verse 1] In the green valley a river runs, silver among bright stones. A leaning willow touches the water and trembles in the wind. [Chorus] O beautiful earth, mother of colours, sky and sea, one motion. My heart hears your voice; we live under the same sun. [Verse 2] In the pines the scent of resin remains, the sun is warm upon the bark. Birds describe high arcs, wings without fear. [Chorus] O beautiful earth, mother of colours, sky and sea, one motion. My heart hears your voice; we live under the same sun. [Verse 3] After the rain a rose rises, a drop shines in the grass. Soft moss, black soil keep the secret of life. [Chorus] O beautiful earth, mother of colours, sky and sea, one motion. My heart hears your voice; we live under the same sun. [Verse 4] Autumn scatters golden leaves, cold comes across the field. But the root below keeps quiet watch, hope in the heart of the earth. [Bridge] Breathe⦠the wind is near. Listen⦠nothing perishes in silence. [Verse 5] In new spring a bud opens, the stream finds its path. Every day changes form, but beauty remains. [Extended Chorus] O beautiful earth, mother of colours, sky and sea, one motion. My heart hears your voice; we live under the same sun. O beautiful earth, voice without end, river, forest, cloud, bird. Let our hands guard life, so the whole world may sing. O beautiful earth, mother of colours, sky and sea, one motion. My heart hears your voice; we live under the same sun. [Outro] A breeze passes over the forests, the leaves sing slowly. The earth opens her heart, and we with her.
