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 ?
