Panis Angelicus Lyrics
Luciano Pavarotti (Feat. Sting)
Lyrics
Panis Angelicus fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus figuris terninum
O res mirabilis Manducat Domininum
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis
Panis Angelicus fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus figuris terninum
O res mirabilis Manducat Domininum
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis
