Lyrics
LUCE DI NATALE
[Verse 1]
Luce del cielo, stella splendente,
Scende dolce nella notte ardente.
Porta pace, porta amore,
Sulle terre e nei cuori il calore.
[Chorus]
Gloria al mondo, canto di speranza,
Nel silenzio risuona l’allegranza.
Fede e gioia, insieme in armonia,
Brilla la luce di Natale in via.
[Verse 2]
Angeli suonano dolci melodie,
Risuonano per noi le antiche vie.
Maria sorride al Bambino in grembo,
Ogni cuore si apre al suo tremendo.
[Chorus]
Gloria al mondo, canto di speranza,
Nel silenzio risuona l’allegranza.
Fede e gioia, insieme in armonia,
Brilla la luce di Natale in via.
[Bridge]
Sotto la neve, la notte è serena,
Ogni anima trova la sua pena.
Ma la luce guida, mai ci lascia soli,
Portando il sogno tra gli astri e i voli.
[Final Chorus: maestoso]
Gloria al mondo, canto di speranza,
Nel silenzio risuona l’allegranza.
Fede e gioia, insieme in armonia,
Brilla la luce di Natale in via.
[Coda: soft, reverent]
Oh luce santa, resta con noi,
Accendi nel cuore i sogni e i cuori.

Light of heaven, shining star,
Descends so gently through the night afar.
Bringing peace, bringing love,
Warmth to all the earth and hearts above.

In the silence, joyful echoes float.
Faith and joy together harmonize,
The light of Christmas shines across the skies.

Ringing through the ancient streets with ease.
Mary smiles upon the child in her embrace,
Every heart opens to this sacred grace.

In the silence, joyful echoes float.
Faith and joy together harmonize,
The light of Christmas shines across the skies.
Bridge
Beneath the snow, the night is calm,
Every soul finds solace in its balm.
But the light guides us, never leaves alone,
Carrying dreams among the stars that shone.
Final Chorus (majestic)
Glory to the world, a song of hope,
In the silence, joyful echoes float.
Faith and joy together harmonize,
The light of Christmas shines across the skies.
Coda (soft, reverent)
Oh holy light, remain with us,
Ignite in our hearts our dreams and trust.
