Today the carol is represented almost exclusively by the Christmas carol, the Advent carol, and to a much lesser extent by the Easter carol; however, despite their present association with religion, this has not always been the case.

Maria, gratia plena

Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris

Ave maria
The lyrics of Michael Bublé's "Ave Maria" are a rendition of one of the most popular hymns in the world. The song is a tribute to the Virgin Mary, and its lyrics reflect the deep reverence and gratitude that Christians feel towards her. The opening lines, "Ave Maria, gratia plena" mean "Hail Mary, full of grace." The repetition of this phrase is a symbolic representation of how the Virgin Mary is central to Christian worship and how she is viewed as a symbol of hope and intercession.
The song then goes on to praise the blessedness of Mary, stating that she is "blessed among women" and that she has been blessed with the fruit of her womb, Jesus. This line is a reference to the story of the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will conceive and give birth to a son who will be the Son of God. This is followed by the line "Dominus tecum," meaning "the Lord is with you," which is a reminder that Mary was chosen by God to carry out his plan for salvation.
The final lines of the song are a prayer asking for Mary's intercession, not just in this life but also in the hour of death. The line "Et in hora mortis nostrae" means "and in the hour of our death," and it is a final plea for Mary to be by our side as we face our final moments.

Michael Buble does a spendid version of Ave Maria. He has such a smooth style and great orchestration. I also love Michael Bolton's version of Ave Maria. Michael Buble's version of "Home" takes my breath away. I have all his CDs and consider him the modern version of Frank Sinatra, which is a compliment.
