Il Santo bambino by Mariano Garau — Lyrics
Da quando i tuoi occhi hanno visto profondo
e sentito potente la voce di Dio,
hai aperto il tuo cuore alla pura preghiera,
era scritto qual era il tuo posto nel mondo.
Hai imboccato la strada col tuo Angelo accanto,
ti ha riempito di gioia, ti ha portato lontano
e ti ha fatto capire per cosa eri nato,
aiutare chi soffre e fermare il suo pianto.

About Il Santo bambino
Mariano Garau's Il Santo bambino is a sacred Italian work for SABB choir. The music opens with a gentle, flowing melodic line, soon joined by the other voices in a close, homophonic texture that conveys a sense of intimate devotion. The text, sung in Italian, portrays the spiritual journey of a saint, from a profound encounter with God to a life dedicated to helping others and offering comfort. The lyrics speak of the saint's joy in their divine calling, their role as a benevolent presence, and a final wish to watch over loved ones with eternal love, finding peace in sleep. The SABB voicing allows for rich, blended harmonies that underscore the devotional and comforting nature of the text.
