Lately I enjoy listening to the song “Nella Fantasia,” as sung by Sarah Brightman, and I recommend it for others as well. It speaks of a world that lives only in someone’s fantasy. But I see this world as more than a fantasy. I know that with our combined will, concentration, and effort, this bright world where the soul is free can become a reality. I hope to inspire many to create this world.
What world do you see when you close your eyes? What is your fantasy, and how do you plan to create it?
Nella Fantasia
Music by Ennio Morricone, originally for the movie The Mission
Lyrics by Chiara Ferraù
Sung by Sarah Brightman
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.
Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
In my imagination I see a fair world,
Everyone lives in peace and in honesty there.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
In my imagination I see a bright world,
Even the night is less dark there.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly.
In my imagination there exists a warm wind,
That blows on the cities, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

Thank you so much for this background and for the song without words that now has words of such meaning and grace. As I listen once again, my skin becomes alive, each pore seeming to absorb the song, the hairs on my head stand up, my whole body trembles and tears flow to hope that such a world can became a reality, in spite of troubled people making bad choices and leaders who go astray.
