CONCETTA LA PLACA

 

Love Never Wanes

In this evening 

the sun yields to the moon

and the star is born

of hope

and love.

It shines on high

and its light 

is directed 

towards my heart. 

I look

around me

and find the serene faces

of my loved ones.

I smile and know 

that love will not

fade'

L'AMORE NON TRAMONTA MAI.

In questa sera 

il sole cede alla luna

e nasce la stella

di speranza

e dall'amore.

Brilla in alto

e la sua luce 

è diretta 

verso il mio cuore. 

Guardo

intorno a me

e trovo i volti sereni

dei miei cari.

Sorrido e so che 

che l'amore non

 svanirà’
