Priez pour paix Doulce Vierge Marie
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG GER
Priez pour paix Doulce Vierge Marie
Reyne des cieulx et du monde maîtresse
Faictes prier par vostre courtoisie
Saints et Saintes et prenez vostre adresse
Vers vostre Fils Requerant sa haultesse
Qu'il Lui plaise son peuple regarder
Que de son sang a voulu racheter
En déboutant guerre qui tout desvoye
De prières ne vous vueillez lasser 
Priez pour paix, priez pour paix
Le vray trésor de joye.

Betet für Frieden
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Betet für Frieden, holde Jungfrau Maria,
Königin der Himmel und Herrin der Welt,
Erwirkt, dass durch Eure Huld alle
Heiligen beten, und tragt Eure Bitte
Zu Eurem Sohn, der seinen Herrgott ersuche,
Dass Er geruhen möge, nach seinem Volk zu schauen,
Für das Er mit seinem Blute hat sühnen wollen,
Mittels Zurückweisung von Krieg, der jeden irreführt,
Der Gebete wollet nicht überdrüssig werden,
Betet für Frieden, betet für Frieden,
Dem wahren Hort der Freude.
