Eu Prometi

I Promised
I promised, I am a son of Mary
From my Jesus as a mother I received her
I will love her in pain and joy
She is my mother! Love I promised her
I promised, I will be faithful
For my dear mother all my life
I promised, I will be faithful
What blissful joy! I am a daughter of Mary!
I promised, oh immaculate mother
To flee from vain pleasure, I want the ardor
With your power, oh unblemished virgin
I will break the fury of hell
I promised, I will avoid being a prey
To the temptation that I will always expel
The beautiful flower of virginal purity
With my mother, I will always love happily
I promised, oh mother of beauty
You will be for me a mirror of fervor
Of ardent faith, of humility and candor
Of gentleness, of pure, holy love
I promised, oh sweet and chaste virgin
In the heart with very faithful ardor
I will keep your beautiful image
Rather die than lose such fervor
I promised in the last agony
I will call you, oh mother of the heart
And I will fly, what happiness, what joy
In your name, to the celestial mansion
