Oh, it is a mystery, I cannot understand,
Though it may be simple, I just don't comprehend,
How could such perfection, come into this World,
As you, my precious little girl?
As I look into your eyes, I gaze upon your face,
And I hear your touching little voice,
I can tell that you have come from Heaven,
And I wonder how you made the choice,
To leave a World where everything is perfect,
Just to make your Daddy's heart rejoice!

Chorus:
On little wings of Love, came my angel Mariangela.
The sweetest thing, Mariangela.
You make me sing, Mariangela!
On little wings of Love, my little angel Mariangela,
What joy you bring, Mariangela, my angel from above!

You're a flower in my garden, a basketful of charm,
A rare and precious treasure, I hold within my arms.
I get a glimpse of Heaven, in your sparkling eyes.
I've never held a lovelier surprise.
I just wish that you would tell me, and help me understand,
The mystery it seems you want to hide -
Was it hard to leave your place in Heaven?
Is that why when I first held you, you cried?
Or was it just because you were so happy;
To have touched my heart so deep inside?
