Translation of the Lyrics of the Song for the Unification of Europe
- If with the tongues of men I speak,
and of angels,
Love I do not have,
I have become a gong resounding or cymbal clanging.
- And if I have the gift of prophecy,
and know mysteries all,
faith mountains move,
Love I do not have, nothing I am.
- Love is generous, virtuous,
Love does not envy, boast, not proud is.
- All she protects, all she trusts, all she hopes, all she perseveres.
- Love never she fails. Be it prophecies, they will cease,
Be it tongues, they will be stilled, be it knowledge it will cease.
- So remain, Faith, Hope and Love, these three. But the greatest of these is Love.
