Fàilte dhut, a Mhoire, fàilt’, Fàilt’, a Bhàn-righinn gheal nan òigh; Beannaicht’ tha thu measg nam mnà, Thu le gràsan làn is còrr. Maille riut tha Tì nan Dùl, Rìgh is ughdar tìr’ is cuain; Thug thu daonndachd dhà nad fheòil Mar a dh’òrdaicheadh bho shuas. Beannaicht’ an cridhe nad chom ’S toradh do bhronn, a Mhoir’ Oigh; Ann an caladh-dìon do chrè Thionndaidh Facal Dhè na fheòil. A Naomh Mhoire Mhàthair Dhè, Thusa Reul na madainn òig, Cum ar cùrsa bho dhol cam Air ar sligh’ an gleann nan deòir. Guidh air a son-ne ri Dia Dhan tug thusa cìoch is glùin; Paisg a-staigh sinn na do chom Mar a phaisg thu Rìgh nan Dùl. Feadh ar beatha san dubh-choill’ Biodh do shoillse dhuinn na iùl, ’S mar ri Ios’ aig Uair ar bàis Bi gar fàilteachadh a-null.

Hail to You, Mary, Hail, Hail, O pure Queen of virgins; Blessed are you amongst women You are overflowing with grace. With you is the supreme One of the elements, King and ruler of land and sea; You gave Him human form in your body As was ordained from on high. Blessed the heart in your bosom And the fruit of your womb, O Virgin Mary In the safe haven of your body The word of God was made flesh. O holy Mary, Mother of God, You, the early morning star, Keep our path from straying On our way through the vale of tears. Intercede for us with God To Whom you gave breast and knee; Enfold us in your bosom As you did the King of Elements. Throughout our life in the dark forest Your light will be our guide, And with Jesus at the hour of our death Welcome us over there. Translation Bill Innes
