about

Number 7 in the Cortona Laudario.This song is by Garco about whom nothing is known, suffice to say he was pretty good.

lyrics

Altissima luce col grande splendore,
in voi, dolçe amore, agiam consolança.

Ave, regina pulçell' amorosa,
stella marina ke non stai nascosa,
luce divina, virtù gratiosa,
belleça formosa, di Dio se' sembiança.

Ave Maria, di gratia plena,
tu se' la via c'a vita ci mena;
di tenebria traesti e di pena
la gente terrena k'era 'n gran turbança.

Vergene pura cum tutta belleça,
sença misura è la tua grandeça:
nostra natura recasti a frankeça
k'era a vileça per molta offesança.

Most exalted light, shining with great glory,
in you, sweet love, is our consolation.

Hail, queen and maiden full of love,
the star of the sea which does not keep hidden,
divine light, gracious virtue,
exquisite beauty, you are the image of God.

Hail, Mary, full of grace,
you are the way which leads us to life;
which was in great peril,
You have rescued from darkness and punishment.

Pure virgin with all beauty,
your greatness is without limit:
you have willingly borne our nature
which was vile through our many sins.
