TRANSCRIPTION
Soy esclavo de Jesús,
creo en su santa doctrina,
creo en esa santa estampa
de su bandera divina.

Allí viene ya la bandera
de nuestro amado Jesús,
es el mismo que clavaron
en la santísima cruz.

Esta es la santa bandera
de Jesús de Nazareno,
en la que creo y ensalzo
a un Dios tan justo y tan bueno.

Los cristianos, los creyentes
que creen en Dios del cielo,
vengan a ver la bandera
de Jesús de Nazareno.

Por esta bandera santa
de mi Padre celestial,
por el amor de María
no me vayas a olvidar.

Mi Jesús, mi Padre amado,
Hijo del Eterno Padre,
nos dejó de intercesora
a su Santísima Madre.

English Translation

I am a slave of Jesus,
I believe in his holy doctrine,
I believe in that holy design
of his divine standard.

There come now the standard
of our beloved Jesus,
who is the same they nailed
to the holiest cross.

This is the holy standard
of Jesus of Nazareth,
I believe in it and exalt
a God so just and so good.

The christians, the believers
that believe in God of heaven,
come to see the standard
of Jesus of Nazareth.

By this holy banner
of my celestial Father,
for the love of Mary
do not forget me.

My Jesus, my beloved Father,
Son of the Eternal Father,
who left us as intercessor
his Holiest Mother.
