Mother Mary, full of grace, awaken all our homes are gone, our loved ones taken taken by the sea Mother Mary, calm our fears, have mercy drowning in a sea of tears, have mercy hear our mournful plea our world has been shaken, we wander our homelands forsaken in the dark night of the soul bring some comfort to us all, O Mother Mary come and carry us in your embrace that our sorrows may be faced Mary, fill the glass to overflowing illuminate the path where we are going have mercy on us all in funeral fires burning each flame to your mystery returning in the dark night of the soul your shattered dreamers, make them whole, O Mother Mary find us where we've fallen out of grace, lead us to a higher place in the dark night of the soul our broken hearts you can make whole, O Mother Mary come and carry us in your embrace, let us see your gentle face

Este Momento en Punto

Pablo Sosa

Hold on and never give in! Throw all your fears to the wind. Join hands and hearts till the end, and let’s walk on! This very moment now, a voice is crying. Awake and listen, for there’s no denying: we hear a call, distressed and hoarse with sighing, from those who hope though they cannot believe. This is the moment, this very moment now! Hold on and never give in! Throw all your fears to the wind. Join hands and hearts till the end, and let’s walk on! This very moment, heaven and earth are waiting, as lives once mute now find their fears abating and raise their voices high, anticipating the strength that changes their cries into song. -tr. Mary Louise Bringle
