The lyrics in Aaron Neville's song "Ave Maria" are a Latin prayer to the Virgin Mary. The prayer is a greeting to Mary, acknowledging her greatness and asking for her prayers. The phrase "Ave Maria" means "Hail Mary", and is a common greeting in Catholicism. The phrase "Gratia plena" means "full of grace", referring to Mary's purity and holiness.
The prayer continues with "Ave Dominus", meaning "Hail Lord", acknowledging Jesus as the Lord and Savior. The line "Dominus tecum" means "The Lord is with you", a phrase used in the Bible when the angel Gabriel greets Mary before announcing that she has been chosen to bear Jesus. The next line, "Benedicta tu in mulieribus", means "Blessed are you among women", recognizing Mary's unique and special position as the Mother of God. Finally, the prayer acknowledges that Jesus is the fruit of Mary's womb, a blessed and miraculous gift to humanity.
The second part of the prayer asks for Mary's intercession, recognizing her as an important figure and advocate for sinners. The phrase "mater Dei" means "Mother of God", reaffirming Mary's special connection to Jesus as his mother. The prayer asks for Mary to pray for us sinners, both now and at the hour of our death. This final request recognizes that Mary's prayers can help us throughout our lives, but are especially important as we face death and our ultimate judgment.

I'm a metal head to the bone. This song not only choke me up, but I actually shed some long overdue tears. How could this happen? I think I need those tears, not from pain, but from joy. There's now light at the end of this tunnel.

@Malin Choneska tears can be good ,they are a way to heal a broken heart or a hurting soul x

@Carol Goode I didn't know I needed this song at the time, but I did. I still have no idea what the song is about but it was exactly what I needed at that moment. Only God could make such timing, I mean it was perfect

It's strange that we don't realise we are holding in our tears, pain and joy until the tears start to.fall x

It is prayer. The Hail Mary in Latin. He sings this at the end of the move Alive.

I remember hearing this perfect version at the end of the movie Alive - I was about 13 (the movie had come out a year or so earlier) - and I remember telling my friends to be quiet as this played over the ending credits <3 I had chills then and still do this very day. Just absolute beauty this version, endless tears in a positive, emotional way <3

Same deal. I was about 14/15. I was transfixed. Bawled. Have never forgotten that moment, this song or Aaron’s voice.
