***

O, Lord! Your servant is crying for your  help  
His tears are in the heart, awaken  day and night
 with pain
…
A serious disease has afflicted our countries
People are always confused, no one to complain  
…
Filled with panic from  a small virus that  has come
To say: Look, come back  and return to faith again
…
Do you forgot that God created the people
To be an enlightened and patient slave ..?
…
I like the prey, my God, with the plague
Asking   badly for  your help, do help me  and all
…
May God  have mercy on us with  the plenty of our sins
I have come to your door begging  your forgiveness
and mercy
