O Queen, thus choosing you,
We kneel, praying to you,
Raise us, save us
From the wave that tosses us;
Be a strengthening shield
And a wall of salvation,
May your adored countenance
Condescend upon us,
O, Most Pure Mother
And Ever-Virgin,
Mary!

We, who by God’s mercy,
Cast our shadow on the earth,
We entreat your mercy
As the Evening Star of the seas;
Hear our lamentations,
O Queen of the angels,
From the darkness show yourself,
As Light sweet and clear,
O, Most Pure Mother
And Ever-Virgin,
Mary!
