Il Santissimo Sacramento — Lyrics
O Sacramentë, sposë mië, nun mi lasciæ',
të venghë a visita' 'stë sacrë Testë.
O sacrë Testë chë di spinë si' 'nghironatë,
l'ajessë fatt'a mæ stæssë, Fanciullë 'nzanguinætë!
Jè statë urribbëlimentë, làvudamë lu Sacramentë
e semprë sië lodatë 'u Nome di Dië sacramentætë.
Pi' gunë milia votë lavudamë lu Sacramentë,
e semprë sië lodatë 'u Nome di Dië sacramentætë.
Pi' dujë milia votë lavudamë lu Sacramentë
e semprë sië lodatë 'u Nome di Dië sacramentætë.
Pi' tre milia votë lavudamë lu Sacramentë
e semprë sië lodatë 'u Nome di Dië sacramentætë.
Pi' quattrë milia votë lavudamë lu Sacramentë

About Il Santissimo Sacramento
This unison setting of Il Santissimo Sacramento comes from a Southern Italian tradition, using a dialect that reflects its Calabrian-Lucanian roots. The text is a heartfelt Neapolitan hymn of devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. It begins with a plea to the Sacrament to remain with the singer, followed by a meditation on the suffering of Christ, particularly his crowned head. The song then reiterates profound praise and adoration for the consecrated Sacrament, repeating the fervent sentiment of blessing God's name many thousands of times, creating a powerful expression of faith and worship.
