In a living creature such as this

Everything is wonderful and worthya of praise,

But all these things are gifts from my god.

I did not endow myself with them,

But they are good, and together they make me what i am.

He who made me is good, and he is my good too;

Rejoicing, i thank him for all those good gifts

Which made me what i was, even as a boy.

In this lay my sin,

That not in him was i seeking pleasures, distinctions and truth,

But in myself and the rest of his creatures,

And so i feel headlong into pains, confusions and errors,

But i give thanks to you, my sweetness, my honor, my confidence,

To you, my God, i give thanks for your gifts

Do you preserve them for me.

So will you preserve me too,

And what you have given me will grow and reach perfection,

And I will be with you, because this too is your gift to me

That I exist.
Sa lahat ng nilikha dito sa lupa

Ang bawat isa ay kapuri-puri at kahanga-hanga

Ngunit ang lahat ay isang munting regalo galing sa lumikha

Hindi ko man naipagkaloob ang sarili

Ngunit naging mabuti at sa lahat ng gumawa at naging saksi

Siyang sa aki'y lumikha ay mabuti at tunay na napakabuti

Ako'y nagagalak at lubos ng pasasalamat sa bawat regalong ganti

Na siyang gumawa sa akin bilang isang lalaki

At itong mga kasalanang naipon

Sa paghahanap ng kasiyahan, karangalan ay hindi sayo natagpuan

Kundi sa aking sarili at sa lahat ng kanyang nilalang

At ngayon ay naramdaman ko ang kalungkutan

Pagkalito at kamalian

Ngunit patuloy akong nagpapasalamat sayo,

Sa bawat kasiyahan, karangalan at lakas ng loob, sa lahat ng biyayang iyong ipinagkaloob

Ito'y pinanatili mo sa akin

Kaya ako'y patuloy mong panatilihin

At ang lahat ng iyong bigay sa akin ay lalago at

Aking aabutin ang iyong natatanging gabay

At ako'y mananatili dahil ito rin ang regalong taglay

na panghabang buhay
