French text

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.
