In Memoria

In memory of my grandfather Michele, his brother Giovanni and all those who have passed on. May they rest in peace, until we join them beyond. We love you.

Verse I

We have gathered
Here together
In mourning
Loss, pain and suffering

But we're celebrating
The lives you lived
The happy families
You grew us into

Pre-Chorus
Surrounded
By love we'll
Live in memory
Of you

Our hearts always
Filled with
The memory
Of you

Chorus
So play your Heavenly card game
Drink your wine and
Watch life roll by
You're with us now
You're in our hearts
You are named and
You'll never fade away

Verse II
Vi amiamo
Padre, fratello
Madre, sorella
Nella nostra gioia

Vi celebriamo
Con le nostre lacrime
Vi ringraziamo
Con I nostri sorrisi

Pre-Chorus
C'e` sempre un posto
Nelle nostre vite
Per la memoria
Di voi

C'e` sempre la vita
Che noi viviamo
In memoria
Di voi

Chorus
Giocate a carte in Paradiso
Bevete il tuo vino e
Guardate la vita
Siete con noi
Nei nostri cuori
Vi chiamiamo e
Sparite mai

Bridge
Stay in our hearts
Forevermore
State sempre con noi

Until we meet
You again
State sempre con noi

Father, brother
Mother, sister
In our joy

We celebrate you
With our tears
We thank you
With our smiles

Pre-Chorus
There is always a place
In our lives
For the memory
Of you

There is always the life
That we live
In memory
Of you

The Chorus is a direct translation of the English

Bridge
Stay in our hearts
Forevermore
Stay with us always

Until we meet
You again
Stay with us always
