Portugease Santa Maria, Strela do dia, mostra-nos via era Deus e nos guia. Ca veer faze-los errados que perder foran per pecados entender de que mui culpados son; mais per ti son perdõados da ousadia que lles fazia fazer folia mais que non deveria, Santa Maria? Amostrar-nos deves carreira por gãar en toda maneira a sen par luz e verdadeira que tu dar-nos podes senlleira; ca Deus a ti a outorgaria e a querria por ti dar e daria. Santa Maria? Guiar ben nos pod' o teu siso mais ca ren pera Parayso u Deus ten senpre goy' e riso pora quen en el creer quiso; e prazer-m-ia se te prazia que foss' a mia alm' en tal compannia. Santa Maria? English Mary, magnified be, with Daystar beside thee; show the way where bide we true to God and thou our guide be. For thou art light that lost souls driven near perdition, e'er with sin ill striven, know that they with guilt sore riven stand; but throught thee are forgive and from their pride free where they ne'er idly let passion denied be bout did all sense defied see. Blessed Mary? Thou canst reveal to us wayfaring paths to tread in grace full sharing to peerless Light, the trugh declaring, that thou alone art graced in bearing; for God would abide thee and all provide He but ne'er thee denied see nor for thee grace e'er belied be. Blessed Mary? Well for us thy wisdom guiding till in Paradise abiding where God all joy and mirth providing waits ever those in him confiding; then would my joy descried be shouldst thou but deign provide me that rest on high beside thee my soul where doth abide he Blessed Mary ?
