Vergin, tutto amor

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG POR

Vergin, tutto amor,
o madre di bontade,
o madre pia, madre pia,
ascolta, dolce Maria,
la voce del peccator.
Il pianto suo ti muova,
giungano a te i suoi lamenti,
suo duol, suoi tristi accenti,
senti pietoso quel tuo cor.
O madre di bontade,
Vergin, tutto amor.

Note: This piece was originally composed in 1722 as a wordless solfeggio exercise, and the Italian text was added in 1874.

Virgin Mary, full of love

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Virgin Mary, full of love,
Oh mother of goodness,
Oh mother holy,
Hear, sweet Mary,
The voice of the sinner.
May his weeping move you,
May his laments be received by you.
Let his sorrow, his sad pleas,
Be heard by your merciful heart.
Oh mother of goodness,
Virgin [Mary], full of love.

Translator's note for line 1: A more literal translation would be "Virgin who is totally comprised of love."
