Salidada seias te, Maria,
plagna da gratzga,
igl Signer è cun tè,
te ist la banadeida tranter las dunans,
e banadia è igl fretg digl ties best, Jesus.
Sontga Maria, mama da dia,
roia per nous putgants
ossa e sen l'oura da la nossa mort.
Amen.[3]


Bab tgi te ist ainten tschiel,

santifitgia seia igl ties nom.

Igl ties reginavel vigna.

La tia viglia davanta sen terra scu ainten tschiel.

Igl noss pagn da mintgadé do a nous oz.

E pardugna a nous igls noss debits,

scu tgi nous perdunagn ad igls noss debitours.

Betg lasch'ans crudar an malampruamaint,

ma spendra nous digl mal.

Amen.
