Madre, óyeme;
mi plegaria es un grito en la noche.
Madre, mírame
en la noche de mi juventud.
Madre, sálvame;
mil peligros acechan mi vida.
Padre, lléname
de esperanza, de amor y de fe.
Mother, hear me;
my prayer is a cry in the night.
Mother, look upon me
in the night of my youth.
Mother, save me;
a thousand dangers threaten my life.
Father, fill me
with hope, with love, and with faith.
