Labhair linn, a Mhuire Mháthar Labhair linn, a Mhuire Mháthar, suidhigh sinn sa rícheadh, ná tar am aghaidh lem fhéichemh, labhair damh fad dícheal. Léig an freagra as fhearr red t'fagháil leam ar eagla an ainiúil; sinn ar n-ég dhuit nábadh doiléir, a chruit na ttéd ttaidhiúir. Do bhaoi do dhaonnacht fam Dhia-sa ad naomhchorp naoi míosa; as tú an t-ionadh fhuair na grása, a thruaill iodhan Úosa. Beir m'anam, a àgh, ó shechrán, ná labhair glór guthchlaon; saor mé mar nach dual óm dhrochrún, a ghruadh ar ghné subhchraobh. Saor mo mhóid agus mo mhionna, a Ógh gan bhaos mbanna; cuid dod thréd gan innremh orra, fég, a inghen Anna. Ná léig mo locht d'agra ar m'anmain, olc tagra gan torbhaidh, a ghruaidh mar ghréin, a ghnúis suilbhir, mo chúis féin go bfolchair. Acht an té do dhealbh na dúile, dearbh lem chéill nach cuala leth do mhíorbhal a ndúil daonna, a úir bhríoghmhar bhúadha. Bí dom dhíon ar áis no ar éigin ar cháir Chríosd má fhédair; bíom ar do sgáth, a sgiath dídin, a ttráth a fhiach d'fhégain. Ós egail lem Luan an chíosa um chenn, cruaidh an cása, an chroch dherg agus ég Úosa, do Leanb brég an lása. Ar ndódh leis an saoghal sédmhar, mór baoghal na mbréigfhleadh, mairg chleachtas an t-ól, a aigbhean, a Ógh dhearcghlas dhéidgheal. A chruth fial, a ghnúis as gile, rug tú Dia 'na dhuine, fagh mo dhírgheadh uadh as m'fhaire, th'Uan míngheal, a Mhuire. Fuair an àgh oiread na páisi, Moire ger mór sgíosa, is Mac Dé san úaidh dá héisi, sa gruaidh mar ghné gríosa. A mhaoir Úosa, a aingil iodhain, sgaoil m'ainimh san fhalaidh, saor sinn ó dhíchéill an domhain, a Mhíchéil, linn labhair. Labhair.
