Spanish text

Antes que comáis a Dios
En este sacro manjar
Alma, será bien pensar
Quién es Dios y quién sois vos.

Antes que, en vuestra posada
recibáis al Rey del cielo
Vivid, alma, con recelo
Si estáis bien aparejada.

Y pues recibís a Dios
En este sacro manjar
Alma, será bien pensar
Quién es Dios y quién sois vos.

English translation <poem> Before you eat the sacred host in this sacred lunch, you should think who is really God and who is really you.

Before you receive in your inn the Heaven's King. Your soul will must live if you have a good-looking partner.

And then, when you receive the sacred host in this sacred lunch, you should think who is really God and who is really you.
