This Nicaraguan melody of the Kyrie Eleison is part of the Misa popular nicaragüense, a liturgical set of songs written by José de la Jara Alonso (lyrics) and Manuel Salvador Dávila (music) following Vatican II reforms in the 1960s that encouraged the integration of the vernacular language and music of the people into the Catholic liturgy.

Señor, Señor, ten piedad
ten piedad de nosotros.

Cristo, Cristo, ten piedad
ten piedad de nosotros.

Señor, Señor, ten piedad
ten piedad de nosotros.
Lord, Lord, have mercy
have mercy on us.

Christ, Christ, have mercy
have mercy on us.

Lord, Lord, have mercy
have mercy on us.
