Bone pastor, panis vere,
Jesu, nostri miserere:
Tu nos pasce, nos tuere:
Tu nos bona fac videre,
in terra viventium.

Good shepherd, true bread,
Jesus, have mercy on us:
Feed and protect us:
Make us see good things
in the land of the living.

Buon pastore, pane vero,
o Gesù, abbi pietà di noi,
nutrici, difendici,
facci vedere i beni
nella terra dei viventi.
