Ave Maria! maiden mild!
啊聖瑪利亞
Listen to a maiden's prayer!
溫柔的母親
Thou canst hear though from the wild;
請你聽一回少女懇求
Thou canst save amid despair.
在這荒涼的岩石上
Safe may we sleep beneath thy care,
我的控訴飛向你的身旁
Though banish'd, outcast and reviled –
我睡到明天早晨醒來
Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer;
而人們仍然是這樣殘忍
Mother, hear a suppliant child!
啊聖母請將女兒指引
Ave Maria! undefiled!
我是個可憐的人 聖潔的母親
The flinty couch we now must share
當我們在岩石上沉睡
Shall seem with down of eider piled,
有你來保護我們
If thy protection hover there.
硬的岩石也會變得柔軟
The murky cavern's heavy air
在夢裡我看見你微笑
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
我彷彿聞到玫瑰芳香
Then, Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer,
啊聖母我要向你傾訴
Mother, list a suppliant child!
我一片赤誠的少女的心
Ave Maria! stainless styled.
世上的一切鬼怪妖精
Foul demons of the earth and air,
紛紛逃走無蹤影
From this their wonted haunt exiled,
我們再也不會受到欺凌
Shall flee before thy presence fair.
因為你對我們最關心
We bow us to our lot of care,
我們都得到你的愛情
Beneath thy guidance reconciled;
啊聖母我虔誠的懇請
Hear for a maid a maiden's prayer,
啊母親願你永愛我們
And for a father hear a child!
為父親聆聽孩子的禱告
