Riu riu chiu la guarda ribera
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra Cordera
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra Cordera

el lobo rabioso la quiso morder
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender
Quizola hazer que no pudiese pecar
Ni aun Original esta Virgin no tuviera

Riu riu chiu la guarda ribera
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra Cordera
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra Cordera

Este qu'es nacido es el Gran Monarca
Christo Patriarca de carne vestido
Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito
Aunqu'era infinito finito se hiziera

Riu riu chiu la guarda ribera
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra Cordera
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra Cordera

(English)

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 would never sin
That first sin of man never touched the Virgin sainted

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

He who's now begotten is our mighty monarch
Christ our Holy Father in human flesh embodied
He has brought atonement by being born so humble
Though he is immortal as mortal was created

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
