Dich, Mutter Gottes, ruf' wir an,
bitt' für uns, Maria!
Tu' uns in Ängsten nicht verlan,
Jesum, dein Sohn, der Not ermahn,
die er um menschlich Geschlecht wollte han,
bitt' für uns, Maria!

Dass wir vollkommen werden gar,
bitt für uns, Maria!
Leib, Ehr' und Gut auf Erd' bewahr',
dass wir in Zeit viel guter Jahr'
dort leben mit der Engel Schar,
bitt' für uns, Maria!

Du bist der Brunn, der nicht verseicht,
bitt' für uns, Maria!
Dass uns der heilig Geist erleucht
zu wahrer Reu und ganzer Beicht!
Jesus, dein Sohn, dir nicht verzeicht,
bitt' für uns, Maria!

Invocazione a Maria
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
 T'invochiamo, Madre di Dio,
 prega per noi, Maria!
 Non abbandonarci negli affanni,
 allevia la pena a Gesù tuo figlio
 che volle soffrire per il genere umano,
 prega per noi, Maria!

 Che diventiamo perfetti,
 prega per noi, Maria!
 Corpo, onore e bene preserva sulla terra,
 sicché dopo lunghi anni fortunati
 sia dato vivere là con la schiera degli angeli,
 prega per noi, Maria!

 Tu sei la sorgente che non inaridisce,
 prega per noi, Maria!
 Che lo Spirito Santo ci illumini
 a vera penitenza e confessione completa!
 Gesù, tuo figlio, a te nulla nega,
 prega per noi, Maria!
