Avé Maria Fadista [English translation]

Sacred Hail Mary 1

Full of grace

This is a tiny prayer

Of great beauty.

The Lord is with thee;

Blessed art thou, Mary.

Your Son was born one day

In a humble and rough haystack.

Blessed among the women,

Blessed is the fruit, the light,

Of thy womb, Jesus,

Praise and infinite grace.

Our Lady of Sorrows,

Mother of God, if it is sin

Playing and singing fado2,

Pray for us sinners.

No singer is lucky,

Pray for us Virgin Mother

Now, always and also

At the hour of our death.
