For the Latin text, see Ave Maria
- Vierge Marie,
- Reine des cieux,
- Soyez bénie
- Par tous les malheureux!
- Nous sommes à vos pieds
- Implorant vos pitiés!
- Protégez-nous
- Nos cœurs remplis de vous
- Sont tremblants à vos genoux!
- Ah! Restez-nous clémente
- Et pardonnez à nos unerurs
- Ô vierge aimante
- Ô seul appui des pêcheurs!
- Toute notre vie
- vous demeure asservie
- Dans la mort
- Rendez-nous le cœur plus continue.
- Amen.
