The rebel carried it, while I carried a rosary;
They carried staffs, while I carried a string of prayer beads
I shattered spears leveled for attack, and staves.
that shattered leveled spears and staffs.

Their staves betrayed them amid the clash,
Their staffs betrayed them amid the tumult.
And how many rebels I crushed with what I carried!
And how many a rebel I crushed with what I carried!
