Scende La Sera
Focolares
Evening Falls
Evening falls, calm and serene
A gentle touch that the city awaits
Evening falls, sweeter tonight
Like this prayer
That ignites the soul
For you: This city isn’t enough
A flashy universe, your heart has dreamed
It asked for more
Tomorrow, who knows, to the ends of the earth
A wave of life will go!
When the wind rises and blows
Who really knows how?
It blows wherever it wants and goes
Who really knows where?
It travels over a thousand roads
Out there, far away
Who can ever stop it?
Heart, that dwells in the skies
In the houses and courtyards
In the streets and skyscrapers!
Heart, poet of the wind
Of stars and concrete
Of children and time!
For you: This city isn’t enough
A faded universe, your heart has dreamed
It asked for more
Tomorrow, who knows, to the ends of the earth
A wave of life will go!
When the wind rises and blows
Who really knows how?
It blows wherever it wants and goes
Who really knows where?
It travels over a thousand roads
Out there, far away
Who can ever stop it?
