Of all the people who dare to do some kind of evil
Let the eyes be full of envy
Illuminated with your brilliance and purity
So that it gets away from me and disappears

to see my paths illuminated with the purity of your white light
be your father who opens my ways
to be able to move towards a future
of progress and prosperity.
I believe in you father of all white fabrics.
I beg you to help me keep all my enemies away from me
And from my house,
I ask you to help me good fortune
To all the roads illuminated by your munificence
Great saint of the world
Man and woman,
Creator of all good and bad things.
Albino king and queen,
Owner of purity and of all vigilantes.

I am your son, and I know that you will have mercy on me,
give me your help and protection,
and solve my problems and needs.
