Words

In spite of winds and storms,

Near the miens,

My beautiful, I return!

the hurricane on my head,

In vain thundered,

My beautiful, here me is!

Without a good wind of the South, never

has you I would not return!

Ah! Blow, breath encor good wind,

My beautiful in this day awaits me!

Of the borders of the ground,

always has to you

I thought, my loves!

By facing the thunder

And floods and winds

I bring one present to you.

Thanks to the good wind, I come encor

With a gold chain!

Good wind, ah! Blow without weakening,

This gift will please to him!
