lyrics

Regina de lu cielo,
o Divina maestà,
chesta grazia ca te cerco
fammella pe' pietà.

Madonna de la grazia
ca 'mbraccio puorte grazia
a vuje vengo pe' grazia
o Maria fance grazia.

Fance grazia o Maria
comme te fece lu Pateterno
ca te fece mamma de Dio
fance grazia o Maria.

Fammella o Maria
fammella pe' carità
pe' li done ca riceviste
dalla Santissima Trinità.

Scese l'angelo da lu cielo
e te venne a salutà,
salutà venne a Maria
e nuie cantammo l'Avemmaria . . .

Queen of the heavens,
oh divine majesty,
this grace I’m asking from you —
give it to me for pity’s sake!

Our lady of grace
who carries grace in her arms,
I ask you for a blessing —
oh Mary, give us grace!

Give us a blessing, oh Mary,
as the eternal father did for you.
He made you the mother of God —
give us a blessing, oh Mary!

Give it to me, oh Mary,
give it to me for heaven’s sake,
for the gifts you received
from the Holy Trinity.

An angel descended from heaven
and came to greet you,
he came to greet Maria
and now we sing the Ave Maria …
