about

"Beatitudes" is a statement: "blessed are you who are poor." The purpose of this song is to raise money for love. For the love of two little ones from the Roma camp in Scampia, two very young people who are learning music and want to build their own amplifiers. Thanks to your donations we will collect what is needed to bring this dream to fruition.

“Yapeyu” is the name of the duo Eraldo Cacchione SJ - Alberto Santamaria. This name comes from the luthiery-city founded in the 17th century by the Jesuits in the Missions in Latin America: a city where all the Guarani indigenous people built musical instruments.

lyrics

T’was in the sunshine
People were stopping by

Looking for someone
Weary and full of strife

Searching around the place… somewhere… we’ll find…a man… a person who will lift us like an eagle

Blessed are you who are poor
(for yours is the kingdom of God)
Blessed are you who hunger now,
(for you will be satisfied)
Blessed are you who weep now,
(for you will laugh again)
Blessed are you when the people hate you, and insult you
and reject your name


Hearing that sweet voice
People stood up and pray

Strengthened and stronger
Feeling renewed inside

Finally we have found… right here … there is… a man… a person who can lift us like an eagle


Blessed are you who are poor
(for yours is the kingdom of God)
Blessed are you who hunger now,
(for you will be satisfied)
Blessed are you who weep now,
(for you will laugh again)
Blessed are you when the people hate you, and reject your name as evil,
because ….of the Son of Man.
