Música a Santa Rosa de Lima

Humble folks called you a rose
And you truly were a flower
Even being, thus, so lovely
You didn’t stray from paths of pain
Your suffering was so desired
So hard to explain to the world
With no convent in the homeland
Your convent then became your home!

Saint Rose of Lima
This land blesses you
Patroness of America
And of the happy homeland!
But from distant peoples
From Sarzedo too
So, pray for everyone
Giving thanks, amen!

An austere life you imposed on yourself
With Sundays filled with fervor
You became a tertiary of love
Wanting more to serve the Lord!
With family, in extreme poverty
You went to the fields to seek work
And in the steps of such harshness
You learned even more to fight!

Always the feast of your beloved saint
You spent in fervent prayer
And your dream in heaven was remembered
In it, you would die then!
From this land, such a happy new world
You are the first saint of the altar
And a thousand peoples, in deep fervor
Today come to sing this song to you!
