O Vírgen que á Dios pariste,
y nos diste
á todos tan gran victoria;
tórname alegre de triste,
pues podiste
tornar nuestra pena en gloria.
Señora, á tí me convierte
de tal suerte,
que destruyendo mi mal
yo nada tema la muerte,
y pueda verte
en tu trono angelical.
Pues no manchada naciste,
y mereciste
alcanzar tan gran memoria;
torname alegre de triste,
pues podiste
tornar nuestra pena en gloria.

O Virgin who gave birth to God
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español)
O Virgin who gave birth to God,
and gave us all
such a great victory,
make me happy, who now grieves,
for you can change
our pain into glory.
Lady, convert me from such fortune
to your devotion,
that in destroying my evil nature,
I might fear naught of death,
and I might see you
on your angelic throne.
For you were born with no stain,
and deserved to achieve such a
great and memorable milestone:
make me happy, who now
grieves,
for you can change our pain into glory.
