Original text and translations

Latin text

Ave Maria, mater Dei,
regina caeli, domina,
mundi imperatrix inferni,
miserere mei
et totius populi Christiani;
et ne permitas nos
mortaliter peccare;
sed tuam sanctissimam voluntatem
adimplere. Amen.

English translation by Mick Swithinbank and Edward Seymour

Hail Mary, mother of God,
Queen and Mistress of Heaven,
Empress of the world below,
have mercy on me
and on all Christian people;
and do not allow us
to commit mortal sins;
but help us to fulfil
your most holy will. Amen.

Italian translation

Ave Maria, madre di Dio,
Regina del cielo, padrona,
del mondo e dell'inferno Signora,
abbi pietà di me
e di tutto il popolo cristiano;
e non permettere che noi
cadiamo nel mortale peccato;
ma permettici di adempiere
alla Tua santa volontà. Amen.
