In turbato mare irato

Language: Latin

Our translations: FRE GER

In turbato mare irato
naufragatur alma pax.

Cito splende, ah splende, o cara,
in procella tam amara,
suspirata coeli fax.

Splende serena, o lux amata,
nam mersa in mille poenis
languet anima mea.
Stricta mille catenis
in pelago voraci
iam submersa spirat,
sed contemplando te laeta respirat.

Resplende, bella,
divina stella,
et non timebo
mortis horrores

tam cara face
gaudendo in pace,
si contemplabor vos,
cari fulgores.

Alleluia.

Dans la mer agitée

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Dans la mer agitée et en colère
la douce paix fait naufrage.

Brille vite, ah ! brille, ô chère,
dans la tempête si amère,
flambeau du ciel espéré.

Brille pure, ô lumière aimée,
car plongée dans un millier de tourments
mon âme est abattue.
Serrée par un millier de chaînes,
dans la haute mer vorace
déjà elle expire engloutie,
mais en te contemplant elle respire joyeuse.

Brille, belle,
divine étoile,
et je ne craindrai pas
les horreurs de la mort

si par ta chère flamme
me réjouissant en paix,
je peux vous contempler,
chères lueurs.

Alléluia.
