Cantiga de Paz

If you want to feel
The peace inside of you
Listen, my brother
Be silent and wait
For spring to return
In the strength of prayer

Turn your sobs
Into laughter of hope
For the tomorrow that comes
After the storm
Calm always follows
Now or later

On your long road
Only you have the power
To turn thorns
Into fragrant flowers
That in the sunlight of trust
Adorn your paths

Looking around you
You'll see sad souls
Asking for love
Forget your sadness
Smile, support, and warm
Be there for your brother, whoever he is

Enduring rain and wind
The wheat goldens the field
Without speaking of its pain
And when the cloud passes
The generous earth
Blooms in flowers

Imitate Nature
That dissolves into light
Until dusk
And when night falls
The sky lights up with stars
Until dawn
