Description: Devotional hymn (probably chanted in responsory) to the Blessed Sacrament from San Lorenzo Bellizzi, a small town on the massif of Pollino in the province of Cosenza. It is sung in a dialect that makes part of Lausberg Area, a group of dialects of the Neapolitan language spoken between Lucania and Calabria, conserving evident traces of Latin (e.g. lavudamë ← laudamus). The same tune recurs in other San Lorenzo Bellizzi's sacred chants, similarly as the Gregorian psalmodies. The source of this chant is Mrs. Maria Vincenzi.

O Sacrement, my groom, do not leave me,
I come vising your sacred Head.

O sacred Head, who are crowned with thorns,
may this have been done to me, o bloody Child!

and may God's Name be always praised in the Blessed Sacrement.

For a thousand times, let us praise the Sacrement
and may God's Name be always praised in the Blessed Sacrement.
