Nella Fantasia are the lyrics that Sarah Brightman wrote to the melody of "Gabriel's Oboe" from the soundtrack of The Mission
Bellow is the English Translation:
In My Fantasy
In my imagination I see a fair world,
Everyone lives in peace and in honesty there.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
In my imagination I see a bright world,
Even the night is less dark there.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like clouds that fly.
In my imagination there exists a warm wind,
That breathes on the cities, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

This is truly a moving piece.
I agree. Wow.
I wish they would've put this as an extra in the movie. I was obsessed with the song in the movie and watching this gave me chills. Loved it!
It is a really moving piece. It really fits the religious theme of the movie
Her persistency to create this song only gave her more of a push to reflect her passion within the words she BEAUTIFULLY sings! Definitely something that could be used in not only times of conflict, war, and rage but in times of deep, deep passion.
fantastic. i appreciate the translation!
Wow I'm glad she was able to incorporate the lyrics. Beautiful song!
I was really surprised by how beautiful her words were. I wish the song wasn’t repetitive and said more that the same thing, but when a poet, or a speaker, or a song writer does that, it is to shows there emphasis on how they feel about that specific thing. She just wants the people to be free, like we all should be. My favorite line is “full of humanity in depths of the soul”; there has always been a lack of humanity in every period of time, in one way or another, and that is the one main thing I wish the world had more of, humanity for all.
Really beautiful piece, the message it transmits for me, represents and ideal way of being that a lot of people fantasize and dream of. “Nella fantasia” means “of the fantasy”, it relates with that idealistic vision of how the author wishes and fantasizes about every human living free and in peace and a vision of a World that leaves war and hate behind, and evolves into the best place for humanity to live in.
Her adding lyrics to the already beautiful piece, added a whole other element and dimension to the piece only making it even more beautiful and pleasant to hear. This is a very touching piece and I too appreciated the translation at the bottom.
This was beautiful. I loved the words and the meaning behind it all. Thank you for sharing!
The lyrics to this song are very beautiful. A world with peace and respect is really something people can only imagine and fantasize now a days.
This song really is beautiful. I remember hearing it a while back but from a different, much younger singer names Jackie Evancho, here's the link if anyone wanted to take a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhN_ciiCsnw
