lyrics

She was born of greek descend, became faithful to the lord
Caged in a three-windowed tower, the holy maid
Swore no man should ever have her, a virgin for god
“Oh Lord, he is mad!”

I will lay my life into your caring hands
Guard me underground so I shall come out again…

Back to light, beneath the sun,
Your name is written in the sky
Out of the night, her spirit’s so bright
Keep St. Barbara’s light.

Fleeing from the mad and hiding in a cave
A shepherd would betray her and turn to stone.
Torture wounds should heal, sentenced to a young grave
Lightning for the father, martyr for the one

I will lay my life into your caring hands
Fearless where no light shines with my patron saint.
Guard me underground so I shall come out again…

Back to light, beneath the sun,
Your name is written in the sky
Out of the night, her spirit’s so bright
Keep St. Barbara’s light.

Santa Bárbara bendita,
que en el cielo estás escrita
con papel y agua bendita
al pie de la Santa Cruz,
padre nuestro, amén Jesús
