Song lyrics / Letra de la canción

EspañolEnglish
Nada te turbe,
nada te espante.
Quien a Dios tiene
nada le falta.
Nada te turbe,
nada te espante.
Solo Dios basta.
Nothing can trouble,
nothing can frighten.
Those who seek God
will never go wanting.
Nothing can trouble,
nothing can frighten.
God alone fills us.

EspañolEnglish
Nada te turbe,
Nada te espante,
Todo se pasa,
Dios no se muda.
La paciencia
Todo lo alcanza;
Quien a Dios tiene
Nada le falta:
Sólo Dios basta.
Eleva el pensamiento,
Al cielo sube,
Por nada te acongojes,
Nada te turbe.
A Jesucristo sigue
Con pecho grande,
Y, venga lo que venga,
Nada te espante.
¿Ves la gloria del mundo
Es gloria vana;
Nada tiene de estable,
Todo se pasa.
Aspira a lo celeste,
Que siempre dura;
Fiel y rico en promesas,
Dios no se muda.
Ámala cual merece
Bondad inmensa;
Pero no hay amor fino
Sin la paciencia.
Confianza y fe viva
Mantenga el alma,
Que quien cree y espera
Todo lo alcanza.
Del infierno acosado
Aunque se viere,
Burlará sus furores
Quien a Dios tiene.
Vénganle desamparos,
Cruces, desgracias;
Siendo Dios su tesoro,
Nada le falta.
Id, pues, bienes del mundo;
Id, dichas vanas;
Aunque todo lo pierda,
Sólo Dios basta.
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you.
Everything passes away,
God never leaves.
Patience
Accomplishes all;
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone is enough.
Raise up your thinking,
It flies to heaven.
Don’t let anything depress you,
Let nothing trouble you.
Follow Christ Jesus
With your chest held high,
And, whatever may come,
Let nothing frighten you.
Do you see the glory of the world?
It’s vainglory;
It has no stability,
Everything passes away.
Aspire to the celestial,
That always remains;
Faithful and rich en promises,
God never leaves.
Love, as deserved,
Immense grace;
But there is no fine love
Without patience.
Trust and living faith
Maintain the soul,
Whoever has faith and hope
Achieves everything.
Threatened by hell-fire
Even if seeing it,
Whoever has God
Will laugh at its furor.
Even if helplessness,
crosses, disgraces come,
With God being their treasure
They lack nothing.
Go, then, worldly possessions;
Go, vain blessings;
Even if all is lost,
God alone is enough.
