To Virgin Mary 

(English Version)

Mary, sweet peace, solace dear

Of pained mortal ! You're the fount

Whence emanates the stream of succor,

That without cease our soil fructifies.

From thy throne, from heaven high,

Kindly hear my sorrowful cry!

And may thy shining veil protect

My voice that rises with rapid flight.

Thou art my Mother, Mary, pure;

Thou'll be the fortress of my life;

Thou'll be my guide on this angry sea.

If ferociously vice pursues me,

If in my pains death harasses me,

Help me, and drive away my woes!

Sa Mahal na Birhen Maria
   (Tagalog Version)

Ikaw na ligaya ng buong kinapal
Mariang sakdal tamis na kapayapaan,
Bukal ng saklolong hindi naghuhmpay
Daloy ng biyayang walang pakasyahan.

Mula sa trono mong langit na mataas,
Akoy's marapating lawitan ng lingap
Sa daing ng aking tinig na may pakpak.

Ikaw na ina ko, Mariang matimtiman,
Ikaw ang buhay ko at aking sandigan,
Sa maalong dagat, ikaw ang patnubay

Sa oras ng lalong masisidhing tukso.
At kung malapit na ang kamatayan ko,
Lumbay ko'y pawiin, saklolohan ako!
