Textual Transcription
Ayudar, almas queridas
a sentir a vuestro Padre,
que es Jesús Nazareno,
Hijo de la Virgen Madre.
El Jueves Santo en la tarde,
cuando a mi Jesús prendieron,
a María, su dulce Madre,
el corazón le partieron.
-Adiós, Madre de mi vida,
dice Jesús con amor,
-ya me llevan al suplicio
por culpas del pecador.
El Viernes Santo en la tarde
Pilatos lo sentenció,
en presencia de la Virgen,
que leer la sentencia vio.
-Adiós, Jesús de mi vida,
prenda de mi corazón,
en público te sentencian
como un hombre malhechor.
English Translation
Let us help, dear souls
to grieve for your Father,
who is Jesus the Nazarene,
Son of the Virgin Mother.
On Holy Thursday in the afternoon,
when they arrested my Jesus,
they broke the heart
of Mary, his sweet Mother.
-Goodbye, Mother of my life,
says Jesus with love,
-they are taking me to torture
for the blame of the sinner.
On Good Friday in the afternoon
Pilate sentenced him,
in the presence of the Virgin,
who saw him read the sentence.
-Goodbye, Jesus of my life,
treasure of my heart,
in public they sentenced you
like an evil doing man.
