Can someone check this link. It's for Adoro Te Devote but it seems there is an "extra": verse every other verse, at least according to the lyrics I've able to find online. I'm hoping to find the "extra" lyrics and their translation, i.e., as long as they are legit & faithful that is. Thank you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2xX8tWaTx4
From what I can tell, the text is being sung in two different languages. The even-numbered verses are in some language other than Latin. At times it souns more like Portuguese, and at other times more like Spanish. Oh, and there's the sign-language interpreter, who seems to sign only for the non-Latin verses.
The verse which begins "Pie Pellicane, Jesu Domine" demonstrates this well -- at about the 6:00 minute mark.
Thank you for your kind reply. It seems very reasonable. I believe this video may originate in Brazil so perhaps it's Portugese of some sort. You are right, the sign language gal is a give-away too. Thanks again.
