Alegria
Come un lampo di vita
Alegria
Come un pazzo gridar
Alegria
Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Alegria
I see a spark of life shining
Alegria
I hear a young minstrel sing
Alegria
Beautiful roaring scream of joy and sorrow
So extreme
There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous, magical feeling

Alegria
Como la luz de la vida
Alegria
Como un payaso que grita
Alegria
Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Seren
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Come un asalto di gioia

Del estupendo grito
Bella ruggente pena
Seren
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Come un asalto di gioia

Alegria
Como la luz de vida
Alegria
Como un payaso que grita
Alegria
Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Come un asalto de felicidad

Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Come un asalto de felicidad
There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous, magical feeling

    This is such a great song. I think this is one of Cirque du Soleil's best songs, right along with "Quidam." It caught my ear because of how upbeat and catchy it is... even if most of it is in another language.

    its about being free, from what i gathered in attempting to translate it line by line. Come un lampo di vita Come un pazzo gridar= Like a life lightning bolt Like a crazy one to scream so says the babelfish.

    Actually this song is in italian, english and spanish (I think so), and it says about the same in every language. Love this song *.*

    This song is so beautiful! I also like the way they redid it for Delirium (which was an awesome show! I wanna see it again). So pretty.

    Probably not Cirque du Soleil's best song but definitely one of the best. Its a little more pop orientated than the normal stuff, but nonetheless no less thoughtful than the other material.

    "Alegria A joyous, magical feeling." Such a magical song - even if I cant understand most of the lyrics. The melodics and general feel of the piece is amazing. It's got its delicacies, but you can still feel the strength building underneath it. Love, love, love.
