"And If in the distant/future someone/ Thinks he has ever been me/as I am today/ let him revise/his insolent ontology/ and teach himself to pray"

Lady, whose shrine stands on the promontory,

Pray for all those who are in ships, and

Whose business has to do with fish, and

Those concerned with every lawful traffic

And those who conduct them.

Repeat also a prayer on behalf of

Women who have seen their sons or husbands

Setting forth, and not returning:

Figlia del tuo figlio

Queen of heaven,

Also pray for those who were in ships, and

Ended their voyage on the sand, in the sea's lips

Or in the dark throat which will not reject them

Or wherever cannot reach them them the sound of the sea bell's

Perpetual angelus
