TRANSCRIPTION
Jesucristo me acompañe
y el santo ángel de nuestra guarda,
para hacer el ejercicio
del camino y las tres caídas.
Recuerda, Padre querido,
con tu fina voluntad,
porque este es el primer paso,
la primera caída que da.
Segundo padecimiento
de Jesús atormentado,
hoy lo vemos sin aliento,
herido y ensangrentado.
¡Qué espejo tan lucido,
el que mi Dios nos ha dado,
en este amargo camino
con las tres caídas que ha dado!
English Translation
May Jesus Christ accompany me
and our holy guardian angel,
to do the exercise
of the road and the three falls.
Remember, beloved Father,
with your holy will,
because this is the first step,
the first fall he gives.
Second suffering
of tormented Jesus,
today we see him without breath
wounded and bloody.
What a lucid mirror
which God has given us,
on this bitter road
with the three falls he has given!
