Enseñoréase de nosotros la hambre, que no podemos valernos con ella. Hija mía muy amada, ruégote que nos visites desde allá, pues que sois mujer valerosa y señora, pues que ya estáis para siempre en el lugar del gozo y de la bienaventuranza, donde para siempre habéis de vivir. Ya estáis con nuestro señor. Ya le veis con vuestros ojos y le habláis con vuestra lengua. Rogalde por nosotros. Hablalde para que nos favorezca, y con esto quedamos descansados."
\nHunger dominates us so that we can no longer bear it. My very beloved daughter, I pray that you visit us from that place, since you are a brave woman and a lady, since you are already in the place of enjoyment and blessedness forever, where you will always dwell. Already you are with our lord. Already you are looking at him with your own eyes and talking to him with your own tongue. Pray to him on our behalf. Speak to him so that he may grant us his favor. And with this, we can finally rest.”

\nBecause of this, our lady, are we to be lost among the enclosures?1 Concern thyself with us, remember us in our misery—how we seek, how we are imprisoned here on earth, for verily the sun, and the wind, the cold, the freezing tire us.2 Truly [our] bodies wither, suffer chills. And verily we are possessed with hunger which we cannot endure. Visit us, my precious maiden, valiant woman, noble woman.
\n“And truly thou hast gone to rest in peace; for already thou livest in a good place, a pleasing place; and already thou livest by [and] near our lord, for already thou beholdest the lord, for already thou conversest with the lord. Pray for us, intercede for us. This is all; with this we leave it to thee.”
