Maria tender, of noble being, a rose without thorns.
By your power you have returned
what had been long lost through Adam's fall.
You have been chosen by Saint Gabriel's promise.
Help that my sin and guilt may not be avenged.
Procure my grace
For there is no consolation without You.
Gain mercy for me; at the end,
I pray to You: turn not away from me at my death.
