Spanish text

[Estribillo]
La bella incorrupta,
la nave sagrada,
se apresta mortales,
hacedle la salva.

Coplas a 4
Alegre respira el mundo,
del diluvio en que naufraga,
al punto que de María
riza las ondas el arca.

Del huracán que soberbio,
al cielo movió borrascas
quebró la furia uno solo
breve amago de su planta.

Suavemente del divino,
sacro aliento preservado,
el espíritu de dios
anduvó sobre las aguas.

Salva debe el universo,
hacer a la capitana
a cuya conducta todos
libros del riesgo se salvan.

English translation

Refrain
The uncorrupted beauty,
our holy vessel,
is at hand, mortals;
greet her with honor!

Verses
Shipwrecked in the flood,
the world breathes with joy
at the sight of Mary’s ark
riding the waves.

She moved the storm to heaven,
the proud hurricane;
its angry threatening
broke only once.

Gently preserved
by God’s holy breath,
the spirit of the Lord
walked on the waters.

Let the world honor
Mary, our captain,
who pilots us
away from all dangers.
