Virgencita de Itatí
Luis Ángel Monzón
Virgencita de Itatí
Existences crying out for mercy
Converge at your sacred pedestal
Purify your immaculate presence
Blossomed from the light of eternity
Subconscious minds glimpse
Dreaming to see you beyond
Paradise of a purified world
Where only truth reigns
Our Lady of Itatí
Of incomparable beauty
In your unparalleled world
Everything is promise and piety
In your eyes there is kindness
In your image there is sweetness
Illuminate its splendor
From eternity
I came to implore you
To bestow blessings upon me
And to kneel down and ask
For happiness and forgiveness
I made a promise
And prayed fervently
Like a believing child
Of your holy religion
Step of earth that wears away
Because time cries for its living
But you, immortalized forever
My advocate, Virgencita de Itatí
Oh! Virgencita de Itatí
Consolation of pilgrims
Who, crossing the roads
Keep praying incessantly
In humble homes
Or in the most precious altar
They always venerate you the same
With tender devotion
I came to implore you
To bestow blessings upon me
And to kneel down and ask
For happiness and forgiveness
I made a promise
And prayed fervently
Like a believing child
Of your holy religion
