Cantos A La Virgen De La Tirana

I. Dawn

Sixteenth of July
the sun is rising
through all the streets
of the town.

We go singing
with joy
always saying:
long live Mary.

Dawn has already been born
through all the streets
giving celestial light,
clarity in the day.

II. Entrance

From afar we come
to see Mary.
Hill, plain, and mountain
we have crossed.

Open up the streets,
let us through,
because we have arrived
to our destination.

III. Procession

We will all accompany you
in your beautiful procession,
we will carry you on our shoulders
to all the town.

How beautiful Mary looks
with her lovely procession.
Raise your divine hand
and give us your blessing.

From that sacred temple
Mary is coming out
with the rosary in hand,
all beautiful and blooming.
