Fior di cactus [English translation]

Cactus flower, little flower

you've been chosen with love

to bloom alongside me

here in the house of the Lord.

Cactus flower, little flower

you've been chosen with love

to bloom alongside me

and pray to your Lord.

And if someone passes by to tell you:

"what are you doing?"

and if someone asks you:

"for how long will you suffer?",

don't forget:

Cactus flower, little flower

you've been chosen with love

to bloom alongside me

here in the house of the Lord.

Cactus flower, little flower

you've been chosen with love

to bloom alongside me

and pray to your Lord.

Even if the wind

passes by offering you freedom,

even if the sun tries

to speak to the world,

don't forget:

Cactus flower, little flower

you've been chosen with love

to bloom alongside me

here in the house of the Lord.

Cactus flower, little flower

you've been chosen with love

to bloom alongside me

and pray to your Lord.

If suffering or worry

distresses the heart,

even if mercy abandons you,

don't forget:

Cactus flower, little flower

you've been chosen with love

to bloom alongside me

here in the house of the Lord.

Cactus flower, little flower

you've been chosen with love

to bloom alongside me

and pray to your Lord.
