I am yours, because you created me,
Yours, since you redeemed me,
Yours, since you bore me,
Yours, since you called me...

I am yours, since you created me,
Yours, since you redeemed me,
Yours, since you have borne me,
Yours, since you called me,
Yours, since you have waited for me,
Yours, since I have not been lost,
What do you order to be done with me?

Here you see my heart,
I place on the palm of your hand
My body, my life and my soul,
My entrails and my affections;
Sweet husband, my redemption
Since I have offered myself to you,
What do you order to be done with me?

If you want, give me prayer,
If not, give me dryness,
Abundance and devotion, or barrenness.
Sovereign majesty, I find peace only here.
What do you order to be done with me?

If you want me to rest,
I will, for love, rest.
If you order me to work,
I want to die working.
Tell me where, how and when?
Tell me, sweet love, tell me,
What do you order to be done with me?
