Ó stars conductor
thou who descended upon the world,
and hast saved us from affliction.
Ó Christ who subdued the pain
And thou ministered the cure ...
Thou who are the noblest
that came here by way
of the pure virgin ... that is
purer than gold ...
Thou who are immortal before
millennia ... we ask
in supplication for our
poor souls
And for those who do not believe
on thee...
To you we praise and affirm:
To follow you is all glory ...
Ó CHRISTE REDEMPTOR!
