Quest' Opera mia ti dono col cor
ò Madre Maria per pegno d'Amor.

Con l'Alma divota che dono à te
del Canto lanota consagro al tuo piè.

L'offerta è vile Maria lo sò
d'affetto humile un segno sol dò.

English.png English translation

This composition I give to you with my heart,
Mother Mary, as a pledge of my love.

With the committed soul that I offer you,
I consecrate the song’s music at your feet.

Mary, the gift is humble, I know:
I offer it merely to represent my humble love.

Translation by Nicholas Jones
