Ad ubera portabimini,

et super genua blandicentur vobis

Salve Jesu, rex sanctorum,

spes votiva peccatorum,

crucis ligno tanquam reus,

pendens homo verus deus,

caducis nutans genibus

Quid sum tibi responsurus,

actu vilis corde durus?

Quid rependam amatori,

qui eligit pro memori,

ne dupla morte morerer

Ut te quaeram mente pura,

sit haec mea prima cura,

non est labor et gravabor,

sed sanabor et mundabor,

cum te complexus fuero 

I will carry you to your breasts,

and they will flatter you on their knees

Hail Jesus, King of Saints

the votive hope of sinners

on a wooden cross as guilty

hanging man true god

nodding with fallen knees

What am I going to answer you?

Are you actually cheap and hard-hearted?

What should I say to my lover?

who chooses to remember

lest I should die a double death

That I may seek thee with a pure mind

let this be my first concern

it is not work and I will be burdened

but I will be healed and cleansed

I will be with you
