[Estribillo]
La bella incorrupta,
la nave sagrada,
se apresta mortales,
hacedle la salva.

Coplas a 4
Alegre respira el mundo,
del diluvio en que naufraga,
al punto que de María
riza las ondas el arca.

Del huracán que soberbio,
al cielo movió borrascas
quebró la furia uno solo
breve amago de su planta.

Suavemente del divino,
sacro aliento preservado,
el espíritu de dios
anduvó sobre las aguas.

Salva debe el universo,
hacer a la capitana
a cuya conducta todos
libros del riesgo se salvan.
