Making out of life what we want it to be
 (Sung text for setting by A. Smith)
 Matches original text
Language: English 
Là ci darem la mano,
There we will give our hands,
Yours in mine,
Mine in yours.
 
Qui diamo i nostri cuori,
Here let us share our hearts,
Mine in yours,
Yours in mine.
 
Qui facciamo le nostre promesse,
Here let us accord our testimonies,
We are witnesses,
I to you,
You to me.
 
Qui abbiamo fatto il nostro cielo,
Here we have made our heaven,
Hands, hearts, witnesses,
Paradise.
