<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Tu, che di Francesco porti il nome,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">del grande poverello doni il pane:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">sorriso, dolcezza e comprensione</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">dell’uomo all’uomo,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">e ne fai Santo.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Con un sorriso t’affacci alla finestra</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">al popolo festante della grande Roma</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">della grande piazza c’hè tutta</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">un palpito, una multicolore gioia;</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">C’è tutto il mondo, quella sera,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">che risponde al tuo “Buona Sera !!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Buona sera di stelle tremanti</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Buona sera di cuori sorpresi</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">al tuo improvviso apparire</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">da un mondo così lontano e multicolore</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">pieno di musica e d’interminati</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">orizzonti sotto il cielo alto </span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> di vento e di pianura…</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Oh grande Argentina,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">tu sei giovane, grande Argentina,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">tu sei giovane come l’eterna</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">giovinezza del cuore fanciullo</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sei giovane come il tango</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">che invita, che travolge, che suona</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">come una chitarra sotto la luna.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Tu sei giovane, grandissima Argentina</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">terra d’immensa sconosciuta bellezza</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">dove il cuore fanciullo si conserva.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Dalle altissime montagne</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">tu scendi fino al mare</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">all’Oceano immenso e canterino</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">che a Rosario risuona</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">e diviene Rosario alla Madonna.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">- O Papa Santo, Papa Francesco,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">tu che vieni da tanto lontano</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">fino all’Italia che ora t’abbraccia,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">dona a noi la tua benedizione</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">mentre noi, figli di Roma,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">con te preghiamo</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">quel Dio d’immenso amore</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">che con Dante il Paradiso</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">ci descrisse…-</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">E a te le braccia e il cuore</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">protendiamo, attendendo la tua</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">nuova forza, la semplice bontà</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">ch’è forza e motore del mondo:</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> di Gesù miracolo e d’ogni stella nuova</span></p>
