Hail Mary, virgin mild
Hear a virgin's plea
From this rock rigid and wild
Let my prayer blow to you
We sleep safely until morning
No matter how cruel people are
O Virgin, see the worries of the Virgin
O Mother, hear a pleading child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, immaculate
When we sink onto this rock
To sleep, and your protection covers us
The hard rock will seem soft to us
You smile, the scent of roses wafts
In this dull cleft of rocks
O mother, hear the child's plea
O virgin, a virgin calls
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, pure maid
Of the earth and the demons of the air
Driven away by the grace of your eyes
You cannot live here with us
We want to bow to fate in silence
There your holy consolation blows upon us
May the virgin bow to you
To the child who pleads for the father
Ave Maria
