Prayers that have been written by me.

Deae Nehalennia (in Dutch)

In de kolkende golven hoor ik Haar stem.
Nehalennia
Haar wind speelt door mijn lokken,
Haar zilte zegening raakt mijn lippen.
Deae Nehalennia.
Zij die de storm trotseerd, en sterker er uit voorvloeit
Zij die de weg laat zien en onze reis bewaakt
Zij wiens woede schepen ten onder doet gaan
Zij wiens tedere omhelzing rust en vreugde brengt
Vrouwe Nehalennia,
Kracht van de Noordzee
Hoor mij aan!
Want ik ben Uw kind,
Uw gezoute water stroomt door mijn aderen
Uw storm raast door mijn lijf
Uw kracht en diepte heb ik geërfd
Moeder Nehalennia
Hart van de Noordzee
Wees met mij!

Deae Nehalennia (in English)

In the churning waves I hear Her voice.
Nehalennia
Her wind plays with my locks,
Her silten blessing touches my lips.
Deae Nehalennia.
She who faces the storm and flows from it, stronger
She who shows us the way and guards our journey
She whose rage causes ships to perish
She whose tender embrace brings us peace and joy
Lady Nehalennia,
Power of the North Sea
Hear me!
For I am your child
Your salted water flows through my veins
Your storm rages through my body
Your strength and dept I inherited
Mother Nehalennia
Heart of the North Sea
Be with me!

Nehalennia chant

Stuurvrouw, Oogstmoeder,
Vrouwe van de Zee.
Ik drijf if uw golven,
Draag mij met u mee

Steerswoman, Harvestmom,
Lady of the Sea,
I float in your waves,
Lady, carry me

(to the tune of Horned One, Lover, Son)
