Virgen de Lágrimas
Marco Frisina
Virgin of Tears
Oh Virgin and merciful mother
Who hears the cry of the poor
By the cross you endured
With Christ the world's torment
Mother of sinners
Who find their hope in you
A safe refuge and comfort
Oh Mother, to you we turn
Oh Virgin of Tears
Grant us your favors!
All your children take shelter
In your motherly heart
Through your holy tears
Jesus will deny us nothing
The angel joyfully announces to you
That the Most High would dwell in you
And in you, He found the answer
Let His will be done in me
Your soul would be pierced
By a sharp sword
And you welcomed in silence
The pain that would come one day
Oh Virgin of Tears
Grant us your favors!
All your children take shelter
In your motherly heart
Through your holy tears
Jesus will deny us nothing
Running and jumping for joy
You went to your cousin's house
Bringing with you the announcement
And the joy of those who have faith
And when you lost your Son
And anguish pressed on your chest
In your motherly womb
You welcomed the pain with faith
Oh Virgin of Tears
Grant us your favors!
All your children take shelter
In your motherly heart
Through your holy tears
Jesus will deny us nothing
In your broken heart
You made a manger again
To welcome your Son
Just like you did in Bethlehem
And when you escaped to Egypt
Through the harsh desert
Filled with anguish, you emigrated
To a foreign nation
Oh Virgin of Tears
Grant us your favors!
All your children take shelter
In your motherly heart
Through your holy tears
Jesus will deny us nothing
Glory to the Father who loves
And sustains His creatures
Eternal glory to the Son
Who saves the world on the cross
Glory to the Holy Spirit
Giver and Lord of life
Glory now and forever
Now and forever
Oh Virgin of Tears
Grant us your favors!
All your children take shelter
In your motherly heart
Through your holy tears
Jesus will deny us nothing
Amen, amen, amen
