It is about Mary’s assumption to heaven, unfortunately I can’t find the lyrics anywhere.
 

An excerpt from the Akathist Hymn - the whole thing takes at least 30 minutes to sing.

Czarna Madonna ( Black Madonna )

Jest zakątek na tej ziemi,
Gdzie powracać każdy chce,
Gdzie króluje Jej Oblicze,
Na Nim cięte rysy dwie.
Wzrok ma smutny, zatroskany,
Jakby chciała prosić cię,
Byś w matczyną Jej opiekę oddał się.

(Refren:)
Madonno, Czarna Madonno,
Jak dobrze Twym dzieckiem być!
O, pozwól, Czarna Madonno,
W ramiona Twoje się skryć!

W Jej ramionach znajdziesz spokój
I uchronisz się od zła,
Bo dla wszystkich swoich dzieci
Ona serce czułe ma.
I opieką cię otoczy,
Gdy Jej serce oddasz swe,
Gdy powtórzysz Jej z radością słowa te:

There’s a corner in this world,
Where everyone wants to return to,
Where Her Countenance rules,
On it two cut features.
She has a sad, concerned sight,
As if she’d like to request you
To yield yourself to Her motherly care.

(Refrain:)
Madonna, Oh Black Madonna,
How good it is to be Your child!
Oh, please, Black Madonna, let me
Take cover in Your arms!

You’ll find quiet in Her arms
And you’ll find shelter from the evil,
'Cause She has a tender heart
For all of Her children.
She’ll surround you with loving care,
When you give away your heart to Her,
When you repeat for Her with joy these words:

Vivaldi and Peroglesi have beautiful settings for that song.

Not having grown up Catholic, I am still in the process of learning Marian hymns. This one is one of my favourites so far.
One of our priests sings the Salve Regina after daily Mass, and he has the most beautiful, melodious Welsh singing voice. It’s sublime.
 
You are the Fountain of my life
Under Your shadow and in Your protection
I fear no evil, no pain, no worry
O Maria, O Most Merciful Mother
Gentle Virgin, with the name Guadalupe
On a mountain we find roses in winter
All the world has been touched by Your Love
Here, in the crossing of your arms
Could there be anything that I need
Nothing discourages, Nothing depress me
O Maria, O Most Merciful Mother
Gentle Virgin, with the name Guadalupe
On a mountain we find roses in winter
All the world has been touched by Your Love
You are the Star of the Ocean
My boat is small, and the waves are so high
With You to guide me, I’ll reach my homeland
O Maria, O Most Merciful Mother
Gentle Virgin, with the name Guadalupe
On a mountain we find roses in winter
All the world has been touched by Your Love
You are the Dawn of a New Day
For You Gave Birth to the Son of the Father
All of my lifetime I’ll walk beside you
O Maria, O Most Merciful Mother
Gentle Virgin, with the name Guadalupe On a mountain we find roses in winter
All the world has been touched by Your Love .
 
Mama Mary help me be open,
To let the light shine through me;
Mama Mary teach me obedience,
Make me transparent like you.(2)

My soul rejoices in God,
His word has blossomed in me;
From now, all ages will honor Him.
For ever Blessed His name.

Mama Mary help me be open,
To let the light shine through me;
Mama Mary teach me obedience,
Make me transparent like you.(2)

Behold the handmaid of God,
May all your heralds come true,
In You alone i am satisfied,
Forever Blessing His name.

Mama Mary help me be open,
To let the light shine through me;
Mama Mary teach me obedience,
Make me transparent like you.(1)

 
Well , it’s the last day of the Montth of May , and I have learned some unfamiliar hymns and music honouring Mary including this…

Holy Mary
Draw through my heart
the sweetest arrow
of thy grace

Lift my sorrows
deepening shadow
so that I may
see Your face

I know i will not be forsaken
Gently held in your embrace

Blessed spirit whispering softly
Cool the fires of my shame
Even as I run from your arms
My soul keeps calling out your name
You were always right here inside
Each tear of joy, every drop of rain.
