Paradiso

Oratorio by Jacob ter Veldhuis (b. 1951)

4. Cielo della luna
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Oh look back there Jim, 
Look at that, oh look at that! 
We're up on a slope, Joe 
and we're looking back down into the valley 
and we have a view of the rille that is 
absolutely unearthly! 
That's beautiful! 
That is spectacular 
Isn't that something? 
Yeah, didn't we tell you?

12. Nirvana  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ne la profonda e chiara sussistenza 
de l’alto lume parvermi tre giri 
di tre colori e d’una contenenza; 

e l’un da l’altro come iri da iri 
parea reflesso, e ‘l terzo parea foco 
che quinci e quindi igualmente si spiri.
