Yes, Queen, "Pie" is Latin for saint (sanctified or holy), transliterated into English as "pious", or one who has piety.
"Pious" and the Latin "Pie" are not exact translations of each other in meaning, but are very similar. Indeed, since the former is linguistically derived from the latter, an understanding of the latter does lead to a clarification of the former. However, translating "Pie Jesu" simply as "Pious Jesus" would be blurring part of the picture.
The Latin "Pie", in addition to what we refer to as "pious", adds an element of divine sanctification, favor, or exception from the norm. Pity is another word derived from the Latin, which shows an affinity or sorrow in favor of a person. "Pious" in English usually means simply a devotion on the part of the pious person him/herself without regards to the object of his/her piety.
Therefore, the best translation for "Pie Jesu" would most likely be "Sanctified Jesus".
Edit: Thanks Marysia. Yes, in common speech, "Pie Jesu" is often spoken as "Blessed (pronounced as in the Olde English, Bless-ed) Jesus".
