Be you still, be you still, trembling...
Language: English
Be you still, be you still, trembling heart;
Remember the wisdom out of the old days:
Him who trembles before the flame and the flood,
And the winds that blow through the starry ways,
Let the starry winds and the flame and the flood
Cover over and hide, for he has no part
With the proud, majestical multitude.

Al suo cuore, esortandolo a non temere
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the English
Sta' calmo, sta' calmo, cuore mio agitato;
ricorda la saggezza degli antichi giorni:
Chi sta tremante davanti alle fiamme e ai flutti,
e ai venti che soffiano lungo i sentieri di stelle,
Che i venti stellari e le fiamme e i flutti
lo coprano e nascondano, perché non fa parte
della fiera, maestosa moltitudine.
