I Call out your name
With unshaken faith I call out your name
Pleading to Mary I won't fall in shame
I find my solace when I call to you
To you my reverence O Virgin is due
Simshin teriche meche afralew
Mariam biye meche ewedkalew
Yemitsnanabet simish newina
Dingil hoy lakrib lanchi misgana
In the land of foes swallowed by darkness
Living for ages trampled by meekness
When the devil dragged me through misery
The Savior of the world you brought for me
When I left the land of my father's place
Among the gentiles slavery I faced
You came to my aid bestowed your blessing
Mary with you I end my suffering
With unshaken faith I call out your name
Pleading to Mary I won't fall in shame
I find my solace when I call to you
To you my reverence O Virgin is due
When my tent was filled with the wedding guests
The ushers and hosts were in grave distress
When stricken without gifts to give in strife
Your swift aid steered me from the edge of life
My dreams like the clouds scattered in the breeze
Faded like a mist like feathers with ease
In my shortcomings I will still stand tall
In Theotokos hope answers the call
With unshaken faith I call out your name
Pleading to Mary I won't fall in shame
I find my solace when I call to you
To you my reverence O Virgin is due
When my kin forsakes no one to confide
When this heartless world cast me out aside
With you fear subsides power dwells in me
Through the fiercest winds I will sail the sea
In the grasp of foes I found agony
Pain and suffering trials aplenty
I will never cease my praises to you
Dear Virgin Mary your marvels renew
With unshaken faith I call out your name
Pleading to Mary I won't fall in shame
I find my solace when I call to you
To you my reverence O Virgin is due
When tormentors loom shouting threats at me
Their words can't cease the love I hold for thee
In the scoffer's crowd your name I’ll decree
So my faith withstands shield me dear Mary
In the grasp of foes I found agony
Pain and suffering trials aplenty
I will never cease my praises to you
Dear Virgin Mary your marvels renew
With unshaken faith I call out your name
Pleading to Mary I won't fall in shame
I find my solace when I call to you
To you my reverence O Virgin is due
Simshin teriche meche afralew
Mariam biye meche ewedkalew
Yemitsnanabet simish newina
