Ave María
Þú blíða drottning
bjartari' en sólin,
þú biður fyrir lifendum og dauðum.
Hríf um eilífð oss frá heljar nauðum.
Ave María, Ave María, Ave María!
Gef þeim himnesk jólin.
Bið þinn son
að vernda oss frá villu.
Í veröld eru margir stígar hálir.
Um eilífð vernda allar látnar sálir.
Ave María, Ave María, Ave María!
Frelsa þær frá illu.
(In English - www.avemariasongs.org/aves/K/...)
Thou gentle Queen, brighter than the sun,
you pray for all, the living and the dead,
for all time from power of hell redeem us.
Ave Maria! Grant us peace at Christmastide.
Implore thy Son to guard us from erring.
The world lays snares for the feet of the unwary.
Guard for ever the souls of the dead.
Ave Maria! Redeem them from evil.
