The song was included on the album "Just Praising the Lord" by Tony Dias - but the cover material for that album makes it clear that he did not translate it.

Lyrics
No one can live as an island,Journeying through life alone.
Since we’re most loved by a mother,
Jesus gave us His own.
Chorus:
Be with us Mary, along the way,
Guide every step we take.
Lead us to Jesus your loving son.
Come with us, Mary come.
When Jesus met with rejection,
Mary stood by the cross;
How can a mother desert her son?
She’ll also stand by us.
Help us, O star of the ocean,
Be with us in our strife,
When we are faced with temptation,
Tossed by the storms of life.
Often enough in life’s banquet
we shall run short of wine
Then as at Cana, request your son
To make our lives divine.
God bless you, Mary, mother of God...May you oversee all (the) little ones who have gone astray like lost sheep.
