Latin.png Latin text

O Maria, quam pulchra es,
Quam dulcis es.
Tu es formosa mea,
Tu es speciosa mea.

Candida et nigra sum,
Sed formosa simul.
Nolite me considerare quod fusca sim,
Quia decoloravit me sol.
Ille qui coronavit me,
decoloravit me.

O Mary, how beautiful you are,
How sweet you are.
You are my most beautiful one
My most gracious one.

I am fair yet also black,
Black but beautiful.
Pay no heed to my dark hue
For the sun has altered my color.
The same sun that has crowned me,
also altered my colour.
