English version
Lyrics by Bono

Miserere, miserere,
miserere, misero me,
però brindo alla vita!

Who is the child sleeping here
in my bed
Where are the words to say
What's left unsaid
Yeah I've been lying,
I've been hiding
Here beside you
I was the saint who disowned you
Now I'm the beggar who owes you

Miserere, misero me,
però brindo alla vita!

Is there a night dark enough for us to hide
There is the light bright enough
to make us blind
Yeah I'm a straying man
Lord I got no plan
Drinking from another well
Vivo nell'anima del mondo
perso nel vivere profondo!

Miserere, misero me,
però brindo alla vita!

Another road, another place tomorrow
Running from you, running from love
You give me so much to hold on.
Sole magnifico che splendi dentro me
dammi la gioia di vivere
Oh help me now, help me now!
Miserere, miserere,
Like a bird with a broken wing
In your arms,
I'm afraid to sing.
