I find my shelter in your glow,
When storms return, or tempests grow. For even if the skies will break, I know your light will keep me safe.
So here I stand, my love, my plea—
Stay close, my moon, and shelter me.
Encuentro refugio en tu luz,
Cuando regresan las tormentas o crecen las tempestades.
Pues aunque los cielos se quiebren, sé que tu luz me protegerá.
Así que aquí estoy, mi amor, mi súplica:
Quédate cerca, mi luna, y protégeme.

General American (GenAm) and Received Pronunciation (RP) mainly differ in how they pronounce R sounds and certain vowels. GenAm pronounces all /r/ sounds, while RP usually drops them at the end of syllables, and RP often uses longer vowels where GenAm uses shorter, tenser ones.
Shelter
GenAm: /ˈʃɛltər/ (pronounced “shel-ter,” strong -r)
RP: /ˈʃeltə/ (sounds like “shel-tuh,” no final r)
Your
GenAm: /jʊər/ (sounds like “yoo-r”)
RP: /jə/ (very reduced, sounds like “yuh”)
Glow
GenAm: /gloʊ/ (“gloh”)
RP: /gləʊ/ (“gl-oh,” starting with a schwa-like sound)
Storms
GenAm: /stɔrmz/ (“stor-mz,” strong r)
RP: /stɔːmz/ (“stawmz,” long ɔː, no r)
Moon
GenAm: /mun/ (“moon” with a short, tense /u/)
RP: /muːn/ (“moooon,” longer vowel)
