Lyrics
NON SOLUM CORPUS
In omnibus mundi locis
homo est incola primus:
irrigat agros et colit hortos,
et ducit equos et alit agnos.
Maxime gaudet terrae fructus.
Sed non est homini solum corpus,
neque fames neque sitis
solae sunt cupiditates,
neque morbi neque mortes
soli sunt eius dolores.
Sunt in illo alii sensus:
sunt laetitia et voluptates,
solitudines, cruciatus.
Illa sunt animi voces,
quas de caelo misit Deus.

Lyrics by E. Fusco
MAN IS NOT ONLY A BODY ( English language )
In all places of the world
man is the first inhabitant:
he iirigates fields, tills kitchen gardens,
he rides horses, nourishes lambs;
he best enjoy the fruits of the earth.
But man is not only a body,
neither hunger nor thirst
are his only desires,
neither illness nor death
are his only pains.
Man has other feelings:
he has joy and passion,
solitude and torment.
These are the voices of the soul,
that God sent from the sky.
