Paroles et traduction La Reverdie - Ave Maris Stella

Ave Maris Stella

Ave maris stella
Dei Mater alma
Atque semper virgo
Felix coeli porta

Sumens illud Ave
Gabrielis ore
Funda nos in pace
Mutans Evae nomen

Solve vincla reis
Profer lumen caecis
Mala nostra pelle
Bona cuncta posce

Monstra te esse matrem
Sumat per te preces
Qui pro nobis natus
Tulit esse tuus

Virgo singularis
Inter omnes mitis
Nos culpis solutos
Mites fac et castos

Vitam praesta puram
Iter para tutum
Ut videntes Jesum
Semper collaetemur

Sit laus Deo Patri
Summo Christo decus
Spiritui Sancto
Tribus honor unus. Amen

Ave Maris Stella

Hail, star of the sea,
Mother of God, most holy,
Ever virgin,
Blessed gate of heaven.

Heeding that greeting,
Gabriel's words,
Give us peace,
Changing Eve's name.

Break the chains of the guilty
Give light to the blind
Drive away our evils
Pray for us for all good things

Show yourself to be our mother
May the Son take our prayers through you
He who was born for us
Agreed to become your Son

Virgin most pure,
Mildest of all,
Free us from our sins
Make us gentle and chaste.

Grant us a pure life,
Make our journey safe,
So that seeing Jesus,
we may rejoice forever.

Praise to God the Father,
Glory to the Son most high,
To the Holy Spirit,
Three in One, all honor and glory. Amen
