R. To love is to give all,
To love is to give all,
To love is to give all,
And give oneself.
1. If I where to speak
The tongues of both mortals and angels,
If I do not have love,
I’m no more than a booming gong,
No more than a cymbal clashing.
2. If I prophesied,
And understood all mysteries,
If I had the faith
To be able to move mountains,
Without love, I’m nothing at all.
3. If I were to give
All that I possess to the poor,
And even if I should give
My body to be burned,
It will do me no good at all.
