O Barco
Xote Santo
The Boat
If this boat you're on,
Sails aimlessly and without direction,
Almost sinking and in high seas
And you say 'there's no solution',
And the waves try to drown you,
And the wind blows against you,
The dark night comes to frighten you
And you think God has abandoned you.
Don't be afraid,
When someone appears to you in the sea
A strong light walking on the waters
Saying 'child, I came to help you'
Don't be afraid
It's not a ghost or apparition
If you have the courage to follow Him
And the sea calms in your heart.
