Lyrics
Plegaria que llega a mi alma
al son de lentas campanadas,
plegaria que es consuelo y calma
para las almas desamparadas.
El órgano de la capilla
embarga a todos de emoción
mientras que un alma de rodillas
¡pide consuelo, pide perdón!

¡Ay de mí!... ¡Ay señor!...
¡Cuánta amargura y dolor!
Cuando el sol se va ocultando
(una plegaria)
y se muere lentamente
(brota de mi alma)
cruza un alma doliente
(y elevo un rezo)
en el atardecer.

Murió la bella penitente,
murió, y su alma arrepentida
voló muy lejos de esta vida,
se fue sin quejas, tímidamente,
y di en que noche callada
se oye un canto de dolor
y su alma triste, perdónala,
toda de blanco canta al amor!
English translation
Prayer that reaches my soul
to the sound of slow chimes,
prayer that is consolation and calm
for the forsaken souls.
The organ of the chapel
overwhelms everyone with emotion
while a soul on its knees
asks for consolation, asks for forgiveness!

Alas for me... Alas, Lord!...
What bitterness and pain!
When the sun goes down
(a prayer)
and slowly dies
(springs from my soul)
crosses a sorrowful soul
(and I raise a prayer)
in the sunset.

The beautiful penitent died,
she died, and her repentant soul
flew far away from this life,
she left without complaint, timidly,
and say in what silent night
a song of sorrow is heard
and her sad soul, forgive her,
all in white sings of love!
