Translated lyrics
Let him praise and give thanks to God, He who has a virtuous wife, a treasure. She will love you always, Peace reigns in the house. There is no greater happiness. She rejoices in your joys, She shares in your sorrows, And showers you with loving caresses. A true virtuous wife, A precious thing, ever faithful, Beaming with pride, a real consolation, A sweet woman and a fine little mum.
