Goal #94: Learn to sing Ave Maria

I've been listening to Ave Maria sung by Chole Agnew of Celtic Woman. 


I learned this version but I'll spare you the pitch flaws, crackles, etc. of my voice... I never realized how the words translated in English but I've always liked this song. It's one of the oldest and most popular Catholic prayers.

The Latin:
The English translation:
"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
    blessed art thou amongst 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.

I love Andrea Bocelli's version around Christmas.
