God save you, Virgin daughter of God the Father
God save you, Virgin mother of God the Son
God save you, Virgin spouse of the Holy Spirit
God save you, Virgin and tabernacle of the most holy Trinity
Now my lips, speak and proclaim
The great praises of the Virgin mother of God
Be in my favor, sovereign Virgin
Deliver me from the enemy with your valor
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to love as well
Who is one God, in three persons
Now and forever, and without end, amen
God save you Virgin, lady of the world
Queen of the heavens and of virgins, Virgin
Morning star, God save you, full
Of divine grace, beautiful and bright
Hasten, Lady, in favor of the world
For it recognizes you as its defender
God appointed you from eternity
To be the mother of the Word with which He created
Earth, sea, and heavens and chose you
When Adam sinned as the spouse of God
God chose her and long before
In His tabernacle, He gave her dwelling
Listen, mother of God, to my prayer
Let my cries touch your heart
Holy Mary, queen of the heavens
Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, lady of the world
Who forsakes no sinner nor despises
Place, Lady, upon me the eyes of your mercy
And obtain for me from your beloved Son
The forgiveness of all my sins
So that I, who now venerate
With devotion your holy and Immaculate Conception
May deserve in the other life to attain
The reward of blessedness
Through the merits of your most blessed Son
Jesus Christ, our Lord
Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit
Lives and reigns forever, amen

God save you table, adorned for God
Sacred pillar of great firmness
House dedicated to God always tender
Always preserved, Virgin of sin
Before being born, you were a holy Virgin
Conceived in the blessed womb of Anna
You are the mother creator of living mortals
You are the gate of the saints, the lady of the angels
You are a strong squadron against the enemy
Star of Jacob, refuge of the Christian
The Virgin created God in the Holy Spirit
And adorned all His works with them

God save you throne, of great Solomon
Ark of the covenant, veil of Gideon
Rainbow of the clear sky, bush of the vision
Honeycomb of Samson, flourishing rod
Which He chose to be His mother
And from you was born the Son of God
Thus He freed you from original sin
There is no sign of any sin in you
You who dwell in the heights
And have your throne above the pure clouds

Joy of the angels, example of purity

Garden of delights, palm of patience

Of David with arms, well fortified
Of supreme charity always ablaze
The force of the dragon was prostrated by you
O woman so strong, invincible Judith!
You encouraged the great David
The healer of Egypt, was born of Rachel
The savior of the world, Mary gave Him to us
All are beautiful, my companion

God save you clock that, running late
Served as a sign to the incarnate Word
So that man may ascend to the highest heights
God descends from heaven to the creatures
With the clear rays of the sun of justice
The Virgin shines, making the sun envious
You are a beautiful lily that breathes fragrance
Among the thorns of the serpent's wrath
You break it with your power
You enlighten the blind who have gone astray
You made the sun so fruitful
And covered the world with clouds

Queen of mercy, crowned with stars
Above the angels, you are purified
You are adorned with gold at the right hand of God
Through you, mother of grace, may we deserve to see
God in the heights with all joy

And the safe haven for sailors
Star of the sea and certain health
And the gate that is open to heaven
Your name, Virgin, is poured out like oil
And your servants have always loved you
