Cheia sois de graça — Lyrics
Cheia sois de graça, sem culpa gerada,
Para ser dos homens a eterna advogada.
Ouvi nossos rogos, Mãe do Redentor!
Dainos santa vida e morte no Senhor!
Para sermos gratos, a vossos favores,
Aqui nos juntamos, neste mês de flores.

About Cheia sois de graça
This traditional Portuguese setting of a Marian text is presented for unison voices. The melody is simple and direct, reflecting the devotional nature of the words. The text, which praises Mary as full of grace and a mediator, asks for her intercession for a holy life and death. It speaks of offering praise rather than material gifts, acknowledging Mary's virtues as far surpassing any earthly beauty. The composer's intent is clearly to create a song of heartfelt devotion and gratitude, suitable for contemplative settings.
