Lyrics: 

Maria, let us honor you and your holy name. To sing your praise forever be our joy and fame. Your name, Maria, calls you the ruler of the Earth. The world proclaims your Queenship; you're noble from your birth.

Your name proclaims to mankind; you are the ocean's star, a star which brightly illumines the countries near and far. The stars which shine and shimmer in our firmament, they praise your name forever, its greatness without end.

The stars are never losing their brilliance when they shine. Thus you remained a virgin when bore the Divine. Your name means also, Mother, an ocean, limitless. From it flow streams of graces in times of peace and stress.
