Cantiga de amigo

O wildest of seas, beside which I wait,
lead my beloved in haste to my side.
Keep him away from danger and harsh fate,
and return him to me in honor and pride.
O wildest of seas, protect his small ship,
 and bear him to this haven swift and soon;
protect his feet, and do not let them slip,
but bring him home under a golden moon.
O wildest of seas, let us both rejoice 
to see the one soul to whom we belong.
Let him be joyful at hearing my voice,
bring him to land soon, both healthy and strong.
O wildest of seas, may you never fail 
to bring him back home past each storm and gale.
