[English]

Angel take your wings and fly

Watching over me

See me through my night time

And be my leading light

Angel you have found a way

Never fear to tread

You'll be a friend to me

Angel spread your wings and fly

Voces angelorum gloria

Dona eis pacem

For you're always near to me, in my joy and my sorrow

For you ever care for me, lifting my spirits to the sky

Where a million angels sing, in amazing harmony

And the words of love they bring

The never ending story

A million voices sing

To the wonder of the light

So I hide beneath your wing

You are my guardian, angel of mine

Cantate caeli chorus angelorum

Venite adoramus in aeternum

Psallite saecula et saeculorum

Laudate Deo in gloria

...

Can you be my angel now watching over me

Comfort and inspire me to see our journey through

Can I be your friend indeed, from all cares set free,

The clouds would pass away, then I'd be an angel too

Voces angelorum gloria,

Dona eis pacem

For you're always near to me,

In my joy and my sorrow

For you ever care for me,

Lifting my spirits to the sky

Where a million angels sing, in amazing harmony

And the words of love they bring

The never ending story

A million voices sing

To the wonder of the light

So I hide beneath your wing

You are my guardian, angel of mine

Angel of mine
