[Bono]
While like a giant - proud and happy
I take my baby in my arms
Fragile, innocent and alive
And like a little bird he's
Pushing against my chest
Abandoned quiet and safe
For an instant almost sweetly
My destiny appears to me like a dream
And I see myself, old and surrendered,
Seated there near the coalfire
Waiting for the evening with the anxiety of a child,
Just to see him coming back home
With the gift of his smile
Of his words and kindness
It's like a promise that can solve the enormous joy
Of one of his caresses.
Then I wake up and I've already forgotten
But inside of me the kid's trapped soul advises me
That this new born child is already more important to me  
Than that of my own life?

...e restai davanti a lui per un po'
e ascoltai nell'aria poi l'afferai
Lui apri la mano e poi
mi tocco il naso sfiorola bocca
Io l'abbracciai ed il mondo giro di piu
Intorno a noi ogni cosa poi fiori
E restai davanti a lui per un po'
E fu li che il tempo ci ritrovo
Lui apri la mano e poi
mi tocco il naso ed io sorrisi
Io l'abbracciai ed il mondo giro di piu
Intorno a noi ogni cosa poi fiori
Il mondo e un puntino di luce blu
Che gira e va con il soffio degli angeli
Io l'abbracciai ed il mondo giro di piu
Che gira e va con il soffio degli angeli
Io l'abbracciai e restai cosi cosi
The meeting
While, as a giant, among the arms,
Proud and happy I hug my little boy
And the tender body, innocent,
Fragile and alive as a small bird
Against my chest presses,
abandoning himself, quiet and secure,
half asleep, for that instant,
almost sweetly,
appears to me in dream my destiny.
In this way I see myself as old and resigned,
Seated there, in front of the fireplace,
Expecting with the anxiety
of a baby, the evening,
to see him unexpectedly
re-enter with the gift of a smile
Of a word, of a politeness
And as a promise that consoles
The immense joy of his caress,
Then I shake myself and
already have forgotten,
But inside of me, the soul enraptured
I realize that baby just born,
Already is worth more than my own life.
...and I stood in front of him for a while And listened to the air and then held him
He opened his hand and then touched my nose and brushed my mouth
I held him and the world turned more
Around us everything blossomed I stood still for awhile
And it was there that time found us again
He opened his hand then touched my nose and I smiled
I held him and the world turned more
Around us everything blossomed
The world is a tiny point of blue light
That turns and moves with the breath of angels
I held him and the world turned more
That turns are moves with the breath of angels
I held him and stood just so, just so
