Viva Giuseppe Verdi Choral Society!

I first saw the choir by chance when I went to a cultural event in Roma Street Parklands in October 08: there was a theater with lots of organizations performing in succession. I joined the Choir the month after and participated to a few rehersals. I got a wonderful welcome by the members whom I thank so much. And then in December I started performing with my new "teammates". What a wonderful moment when I got that jacket representing 50 years of Choir's activity in Brisbane! I feel very proud to be part of this wonderful choir that so beautifully transmits our italian folklore in Brisbane.
My best wishes go to the guys of the Choir for a wonderful 2009 and many more years of wonderful performances! Thank you Giuseppe Verdi Choral Society!

Benvenuto 2008-One of our favourites

CON TE PARTIRO

Quando sono solo sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
si lo so che non c'è luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole
se non ci sei tu con me
su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai acceso chiudi, dentro me
la luce che hai incontrato per strada

Con te partirò paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò su navi per mari
che io lo so no, no, non esistono più
con te io li vivrò

Quando sei lontana sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
e io sì lo so che sei con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me

mio sole tu sei qui con me con me con me
con me... con me con me

Con te partirò
Paesi che non ho mai veduto e vissuto con te
adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò
su navi per mari che, io lo so
no, no, non esistono più
con te io li rivivrò

Con te partirò
su navi per mari che, io lo so
no, no, non esistono più
con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò...

Io con te!
