DescriptionAngela Mia (original English lyric)
“Angela mia, you are my angel, dear,
The heavens sent you down to me from up above.
Angela mia, you are my guiding star,
A sweet Madonna that I honor and I love.
You’re like the sunshine in all its splendor
And I surrender each time you smile.
Angela mia, my prayers are answered now
And I am thankful for Angela mia."
