I love this song... often listen to it - different versions... but I haven't a clue what the song is about! Just wondered if maybe some people here know about this song - its history etc.

Ave Maria
Gratia plena

Ave, ave dominus

Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus.

It's just an hymn, based around the Gospel of Luke:
- first it's intended to venerate the Virgin Mary, "Ave Maria", "I salute you, Mary", and various words to show her high status.
- then it explains her role: Virgin, Mother, Saint etc.
- and finally, it asks her to intervene to help sinners, as she is known to be helpful in "desperate" causes.
Translation:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
