Translation of the song RV 627 In turbato mare. artist Antonio Vivaldi

In turbato mare irato

In the turbulence of the angry sea

naufragatur alma pax.

sweet peace is shipwrecked.

Cito splende, ah splende, o cara,

Shine quickly, ah shine, dear one,

in procella tam amara,

beacon of heaven, I look for you

suspirata coeli fax.

with sighs in the bitter storm!

Splende serena, o lux amata,

Shine serene, beloved light,

nam mersa in mille poenis

drowned in a thousand pains

languet anima mea.

my soul languishes

Stricta mille catenis

bound in a thousand chains

in pelago voraci

in the devouring sea,

iam submersa spirat,

now sinking, and drowning but looking

sed contemplando te laeta respirat.

at you I joyfully take another breath

Resplende, bella,

Shine on, beautiful

divina stella,

divine star,

et non timebo

and I shall not fear

mortis horrores

the horrors of death,

tam cara face

At that beloved sight

gaudendo in pace,

I rejoice in peace

si contemplabor vos,

when I gaze at you,

cari fulgores.

dear rays of light.

Alleluia.

Alleluia.
