Song Text
Alegrías, Alegrías
levantad con gozo el buelo
por esta Reyna del cielo.
Canta, gil, una cancion
canta, canta si quisieras
canto de veneracion
por esta flor de mugeres.
Sabe, si saber quisieres
que nos viene gran consuelo
por esta Reyna del cielo.
Songs of joy
rise joyfully on high
for this Queen of the heavens.
Sing, Gil, a song,
if you please, il, sing, sing
a song of veneration
for she who is the flower of womankind.
ff you wish to know, know
that a great comfort is coming to us
thanks to the Queen of Heaven.
