Virgo Serena
Damjan Mravunac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Virgo serena Dominus tecum,
Virgo serena panis et pastoris,
Virginum et regina Salvatoris Christi,
Templum extitisti
(Omnicent voice) (difficult to listen)
Dominus tecum
Dominus tecum
The lyrics to Damjan Mravunac's song Virgo Serena are a short, but powerful affirmation of faith. The words "Dominus tecum" translate to "The Lord be with you," and are repeated twice before "Virgo serena" or "serene virgin" is introduced. This is a reference to the Virgin Mary, who is often referred to as a "serene" or "calm" presence in Christianity. It's interesting to note that the first five lines of the song all address the Virgin Mary, who is described as a "bread and shepherd" who is both the "queen" and "savior" of virgins.
The final line, "Templum extitisti," means "You became the temple." This is likely a reference to the belief that the Virgin Mary became the holy dwelling place of God when she became pregnant with Jesus. The line is also a nod to the idea that Mary is a sacred space in which we can seek solace and peace. The song concludes with another repetition of "Dominus tecum," reminding us once again that no matter what we face in life, we are never alone.
