Italian text

Alto Principio e Monte,
Di mia salute fonte
Sacra Vergine bella
Splendente più ch’el Sol
Più d’ogni stella.

Stella dell’alto mare
Fra scogli ed onde amare,
La mia fragile barca
Ogni procella a Te
Guardando varca

Ed io meschino e vile
A Te che sei gentile
Mi rivolgo e t’imploro
Guidami al porto
Tu l’astro d’oro.
