Ieri sera Bocelli ha cantato sul sagrato del Duomo di Milano “Amazing Grace”; il piazzale era vuoto e il suo canto non era accompagnato da strumenti musicali: l’effetto era da brividi. Ecco il testo, anch’esso molto suggestivo:
Testo
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T’was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home
We have already come.
T’was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home
Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
Was blind, but now I see.
Questa versione di Diana Ross è particolarmente dolce e commovente
