Song for the Unification of Europe
a little off topic maybe.. now that's its evolved
but my answer to the original question is..
:!: Song for the Unification of Europe from Trois Couleurs Bleu
by Zbigniew Preisner
sung in Greek it is completely sublime..
the words translated are..
Though I speak with the tongues of angels,
If I have not love...
My words would resound with but a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophesy...
And understand all mysteries...
and all knowledge...
And though I have all faith
So that I could remove mountains,
If I have not love...
I am nothing.
Love is patient, full of goodness;
Love tolerates all things,
Aspires to all things,
Love never dies,
while the prophecies shall be done away,
tongues shall be silenced,
knowledge shall fade...
thus then shall linger only
faith, hope, and love...
but the greatest of these...
is love.
If you've not seen the film that too is also worth seeing..
Three Colours Blue [1993] - Krzysztof Kieslowski
(Three Colours Red is also good)
