Be Calm
1
- Oh Master! The sea is in turmoil:
The waves fill us with dread:
The sky is covered in darkness:
We have no Savior!
Do you not care if we perish?
Can you sleep like this?
If at every moment we see ourselves,
Yes, about to be submerged?
Chorus
- "The waves obey my command:
Be calm!
Whether the sea is rough
The anger of men, the spirit of evil:
Such waters cannot swallow the ship,
Which carries the Lord, King of Heaven and sea,
For all hear my command:
Be calm! - be calm!
I am with you to save you:
Yes, be calm!"
2
- Master, in my sadness
I am almost succumbing:
The pain that disturbs my soul,
Oh! I ask you, come banish it!
From waves of evil that cover me,
Who will make me come out?
I perish, without you, oh! my Master!
Come quickly, come to my aid!
3
- Master, calm has arrived,
In peace, both sky and sea!
My heart enjoys a calm
That cannot end.
Stay with me, oh! my Master,
Owner of Earth and Heaven,
And thus I will arrive safely
At the port, my destination.
