Riu, riu, chiu La guarda ribera Dios guarde el lobo De nuestra cordera.
El lobo rabioso la quiso morder, Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender; Quisole hazer que no pudiesse pecar, Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera. Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Este viene a dar a los muertos vida Y viene a reparar de todos la caida; Es la luz del dia aqueste mocuelo; Este es el cordero que San Juan dixera. Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Pues que ya tenemos lo que desseamos, Todos juntos vamos presentes llevemos; Todos le daremos nuestra voluntad, Pues a se igualar con el hombre viniera. Riu, riu, chiu, etc
River, Roaring River, Guard Our Homes In Safety, God Has Kept The Black Wolf From Our Lamb, Our Lady God Has Kept The Black Wolf From Our Lamb, Our Lady
Raging Mad To Bite Her, There The Wolf Did Steal, But Our God Almighty Defended Her With Zeal Pure He Wished To Keep Her So She Could Never Sin, That First Sin Of Man Never Touched The Virgin Sainted
River, Roaring River
He Who's Now Begotten Is Our Mighty Monarch, Christ, Our Holy Father, In Human Flesh Embodied He Has Brough Atonement By Being Born So Humble, Though He Is Immortal, As Mortal Was Created
