Amazing Grace
Jean Marc Ceccaldi — Chant emblématique du groupe Jean Marc Ceccaldi, extrait de l'album « Scelta Celta » (2015).
Couplet 1
Ripigliu :
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
Couplet 2
Tanti sonnii, tante speme in pulvina svaniti
Cume murmoriu spentu
Svulazzate e preghere, i prughjetti impazziti
Funu spazzati da qualchi gattivu ventu
Chjamai diavuli po dii, per mustrammi a via
Chi mi purtava à tè
Eru persu, cecu, à l’agunia
Ma avà ci vecu bè
Couplet 3
Mi mancherà lu tempu per ringrazià lu celu
A vita hè troppu lesta
A fede per guidà lu mio tintu batellu
Cume un fanale accesu di punta à a timpesta
Oghje si, ghjocu à risa à ‘sse false prumesse
Ch’ùn pudia gudè
Aghju trovu la mio raggione d’esse
Sè tù stai cun mè
Couplet 4
Ripigliu :
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
Couplet 5
Amazing grace, has set me free
To touch, to taste, to feel;
The wonders of accepting love
Have made me whole and real.
Couplet 6
Was blind, but now I see.
Was blind, but now I see.
