Prayers

Let us sing a glorious song 
extolling vibrant note with 
the purest Virgin, lover 
freed us from fallacious pirate.
That the Spanish settler and the Indian 
who founded the beloved country 
offered them no protection as 
the gentle lady Ujarrás.
August Sovereign Princess 
Oh My Lady unparalleled Rescue 
you fought the tough battle 
with vital protection your holy 
patron tico're always 
everywhere because the story announces 
crowning glory of your name 
on your clean and odd Concepción.
Modern pirate defends 
our country born in your arms 
because it lies to grow despondent, 
oh gentle lady Ujarrás!
Do not let them succeed or advance 
doctrines condemning Christ 
and retains Azucena oh glorious! 
your people in faith and truth.
