Andrea Bocelli - L'Incontro

Andrea Bocelli sings L'Incontro from the CD Cieli di Toscana on CBS June 26, 2002. The Brooklyn Youth Chorus accompanies him in this amazing song. The poem he recites before singing means:
Like a giant,
Proud and happy I embrace my little one;
The small, tender body, innocent,
Fragile and alive, like a little lost bird
I press against my chest,
Quiet and sure, half asleep,
For some instant,almost sweetly,
My destiny appears as if in a dream. Thus I see myself old and resigned,
Seated there beside the fireplace;
Anxiously awaiting a child
In the evening, to hear him suddenly return with the gift of a smile,
A word, a kindness
And like a promise that consoles
The immense joy of a caress...
Then I awake and have already forgotten,
But within my enraptured soul
I notice that the newborn child
Is already worth more than my own life.

I live with his music every day - have for two decades. But I have to say I miss Bono doing the opening composition on this big favorite of mine. L'Incontro written by Andrea himself, is as beautiful as he is. May he live forever - so gifted! God bless you Andrea.xxxxxxxxxx

Beautiful composition! Maestro Bocelli is my number one artist both in the POP and in the Classic music. The world would not be the same for me without him; I listen to his recordings every day...
