What are the lyrics to Schubert’s Ave Maria lyrics??? I think they are in German…I might be mistaken though.

~mango~
 
Bach’s original lyrics were also the Latin Hail Mary …

Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Domminus tecum
et cetera

Of course, they may have been translated into any number of vernaculars in recent recordings … and there may have been liberties taken to make the new lyrics fit in with the ‘timing’ of the original music …
 
One of the versions I have is Pavoratti singing Schuberts, but the first two verses is not the Hail Mary. It sounds like the Latin version of the English Lady of the Lake translation.
 
Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus.
Ave Maria

Ave Maria
Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Ora pro nobis
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Ave Maria

If you ask me to translate, my response will be, “WHA ???” 🙂

I bet you could if you tried. Start with what is easiest:

Ave Maria = Hail Mary
Nunc et in hora mortis = now and at the hour of our death

It not exact, but close enough. With practice you could figure out other Latin prayers, etc. Try it. 🙂
 
Thank you all for trying! 😃

I must reiterate though…it isn’t in Latin. I’ve sang in Latin my whole life, and I’ve sang in German too, and aside from the main “Ave Maria” line, I’m pretty sure what I’m listening to is in German.
