Maria, dolce Maria
Original Language: Italian
Maria dolce Maria, come soave tanto
Ch'e pronunciar t'in paradisi core
Nome sacrato e Santo
Ch'el cor m'infiammi di celeste amore
Maria mai sempr'io canto
Ne puo la lingua mia piu felice parola
Trarmi dal sen gia mai che dir
Che dir Maria
Nome ch'ogni dolor tempra'e consola
Voce tranquilla ch'ogni affano acqueta
Ch'ogni cor fa sereno, ogn'alma lieta
Poet:
English
Maria, sweet Maria
Maria, sweet Maria, such a sweet name,
that in speaking fills your heart with rapture,
sacred and holy name
that enflames my heart with heavenly love.
Maria, never as long as I sing
can my voice draw from my breast a more joyful word
than to say Maria,
name that tempers and consoles every sorrow,
calm voice that stills every grief,
makes every heart serene, every soul joyful.
Translated by:
Dr Richard Kolb
