[English Translation:]
|
|
Hail, Star of the sea,
|
Great Mother of God
|
and always a Virgin,
|
joyous gate of Heaven.
|
|
By welcoming that "Hail"
|
from Gabriel's mouth,
|
grant us peace,
|
changing Eve's fame.
|
|
Undo wicked people's bad deeds,
|
give light to the blind,
|
drive away our pains,
|
give us every good.
|
|
Show Thyself to be a Mother,
|
let this prayer be welcomed through Thee
|
by He who was born for us
|
and made Himself Thy Son.
|
|
Holiest Virgin unique,
|
among the humblest,
|
forgive our trespasses,
|
and make us humble and chaste.
|
|
Give us a pure life,
|
guard our paths,
|
let us see Jesus,
|
always joyful.
|
|
All praise be to God the Father,
|
to the Highest Christ, the Lord,
|
and to the Holy Ghost,
|
only honor to the Trinity.
|
Amen.
