lyrics
Seeing the pure one's falling asleep, angels marvelled in wonder how the Virgin could ascend from earth to heaven.
O pure Virgin, in you are conquered the bounds of nature, for childbirth remains virginal and death is betrothed to life. Virgin after childbearing and alive after death, O Mother of God, never cease to save your inheritance.
