--- ABOUT
Signore delle cime ("Lord of the Mountain Tops") is a popular Italian song of prayer. It was written by Bepi De Marzi in 1958, when he was 23 years old: he dedicated the song to his friend Bepi Bertagnoli who died in 1951 while climbing Mount Piatta in the upper Valle del Chiampo. The song became very popular and was translated into many languages. Traditionally, only the first two verses are sung. The song is performed every year at the festival of the Raduno Nazionale degli Alpini, which since 1920 has usually been celebrated annually in mid-May. The simplicity of the song and its great emotional impact have ensured its inclusion in the repertoire of many polyphonic choirs, such as I Crodaioli of Arzignano, founded by de Marzi. The simple melody is accompanied by traditional harmonies and combined with a text that represents feeling, popular piety and Christian devotion.

--- LYRICS
Dio del cielo, Signore delle cime,
Un nostro amico hai chiesto alla montagna
Ma ti preghiamo, ma ti preghiamo,
Su nel paradiso, su nel paradiso
Lascialo andare per le tue montagne.

Santa Maria, Signora della neve,
Copri col bianco ‡ soffice mantello,
Il nostro amico, nostro fratello,
Su nel paradiso, su nel paradiso
Lascialo andare per le tue montagne.
