The thirteenth of May
In the Cova d'Iria
Appeared, oh so brilliant
The virgin Maria
The virgin Maria
Encircled with light
Our own dearest mother
And heaven's delight
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
To three little shepherds
Our Lady appeared
The light of her grace
To her Son souls endeared
With war and its evils
The whole world was seething
And countless of thousands
Were mourning and weeping
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
To save all poor souls
Who had wandered astray
With words of sweet comfort
She asked us to pray
By honouring Mary
And loving her Son
The peace of the world
Will most surely be won
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
