Translation:
Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with you-O serene virgin.
Blessed are you among women,
you who bore peace for humankind
and glory for the angels.

And blessed is the fruit of your womb-
he who makes us his heirs through grace,
so that we might be his.

But though this "Ave" -
So pure and sweet,
Contrary to the law of the flesh-

You, O star, through a new birth
Brought forth your offspring,
The new sun.

You stand out as the temple
Of the humble and the great,
Of the lion and the lamb,
Of Christ the savior-
Yet you remain a virgin.

You have been made mother
Of the bud and the dew,
Of the bread and the shepherd
You are queen of virgins,
Rose without thorns.

You are the city of the king of justice,
You are mother of mercy,
From the pool of impurity and misery
You recast one who through grace
becomes a lover of God.

You the celestial curia together praises in song,
To You our services are devoted,
You who are mother and daughter of God,
Through You the pardon for guilt is offered.

Therefore star of the sea,
Sanctuary of the word of God
And dawn of the sun,
Door of paradise
Through which the Light is born:

Pray to Him your Son,
That He might free us from sins,
And place us in the kingdom of clarity,
Where the sedulous light shines
Through all ages.
Amen.
