Panis Angelicus - Bread of Angels

When I first time see this song title, Panis Angelicus; I was thinking “Angel’s Penis”? hahaha….but it turn out to be a very beautiful song. It is sang in Latin….how beautiful! If you close your eyes while the second clip being play, you will drop a tear…..those kids really have voice of an angel!

Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus
figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum.
Pauper, servus et humilis.

Te trina Deitas
unaque poscimus:
Sic nos tu visita,
sicut te colimus;
Per tuas semitas
duc nos quo tendimus,
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
Amen.

English translation

The angelic bread
becomes the bread of men;
The heavenly bread
ends all prefigurations:
What wonder!
consumes the Lord
a poor and humble servant.

Triune God,
We beg of you,
that you visit us,
as we worship you.
By your ways,
lead us who seek
the light in which you dwell.
Amen.







can you feel the element of innocent in the 2nd clip by St. Philips Boys' Choir, Norbury, UK compare to Andrea Bocelli and Il Divo version?
