Chris Cornell - Ave Maria Lyrics






Ave Maria Maiden mild
O listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou can't hear amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou can't save amid despair
We slumber safely 'til the morrow
Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled
O maiden see a maiden's sorrow
O mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria

Ave Maria Undefiled
The flinty couch whereon we're sleeping
Shall seem with down of eider piled
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
The murky cavern's air's so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled
O maiden hear a maiden's pleading
O mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria

Ave Maria Stainless styled
O fiends of air and earth the essence
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence

We bow beneath our care so laden
To thy dear guidance reconciled
Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden
And for a father hear a child
Ave Maria

Chris Cornell Ave Maria Comments
  1. g.... g....

    I was in a deep depression over a woman who was playing with my head an my heart stringing me along lying to me I was so in love with her well she finally came clean an told me was seeing someone this went on for two years two years hell an hurt well as soon as she told me the truth it was as like an angel from heaven came to me an took all that hurt an pain away I put on my YouTube play list an this song started playing this the same song that played as I followed the Hurst that carried my grandfather to his grave thanks grandpa for coming to me an freeing me from that depression I feel like a new man today
    the truth shall set you free

    He was 100% spiritual. His kind never lasts long enough. They come to make change and and leave. I'm so thankful to have lived in the same time as this icon! I love you Chris! I'm sorry for the strife you were put through and I cannot wait to meet you on the other side one day! Pure awe! ❤

    I have pain in my ears just for repeating this song with all volume

  27. P.... J....

    this is the first time I've heard Chris's version of this lovely song ... yes, the recording itself and background instrumentation could have been better, but Chris (along with Natasha) still knocks it out of the park with his exquisite voice ... There can be only one, and that's CC. xoxo

  28. P.... m....

    Love natasha in the background and alainain's guitar

    P.... m....

    Having heard that song at close peoples funerals i hope they made this song so people like me will go " can deal - cool people also sang this "

    Taking nothing away from Luciano, but Chris' distinctive tone could move even the hardened hearts at a funeral dirge.

    Fr. Gerry sung this on her feast days... imagine hearing this in a basilica. Nice work Chris...RIP.

  72. C.... B....

    When I was little my dad would often play Andrea Bocelli's rendition of this piece. And as I have grown up and become a musician Chris Cornell has become one of my favorite singers. I'm so glad I found this.

  73. W.... O....

    Face it, he could sing anything.

  74. R.... C....

    Ave maria! maiden mild!
    O listen to a maiden's prayer!
    For thou canst hear amid the wild
    ( for thou canst hear though from the wild)
    Tis thou, tis thou canst save amid despair.
    We slumber safely 'til the morrow,
    (safe may we sleep beneath thy care,)
    Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled;
    (tho' banish'd, outcast, and reviled;)
    O maiden! see a maiden's sorrow -
    O mother, hear a suppliant child!
    Ave maria!

    Ave maria! undefiled!
    The flinty couch whereon we're sleeping
    (the flinty couch we now must share)
    Shall seem with down of eider piled,
    If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
    (if thy protection hover there.)
    The murky cavern's air's so heavy
    (the murky cavern's heavy air)
    Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
    O maiden! hear a maiden's pleading!
    (then, maiden! hear a maiden's prayer;)
    O mother, hear a suppliant child!
    Ave maria!

    Ave maria! stainless styled!
    O fiends of air and earth the essence
    (foul demons of the earth and air)
    From this their wonted haunt exiled
    Shall flee before thy holy presence
    (shall fee before thy presence fair)

    We bow beneath our care so laden
    (we bow us to our lot of care)
    To thy dear guidance reconciled;
    (beneath thy guidance reconciled;)
    Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden!
    (hear for a maid, a maiden's prayer;)
    And for a father hear a child!
    Ave maria!

  75. B.... ....

  86. J.... G....

    Honestly heard this for the first time. A voice like no one else and so much emotion. I still miss him so much and will always love him dearly in my heart.

  87. A.... M....

    Didn’t Chris sing this song beautifully. If he was my friend, son, uncle, brother, grandson,, and husband, I would be so proud of his accomplishment of this song. He sings it better than Pavourotti . (spelt wrong) and from his heart hard. How wonderful his voice really was. God be with you Chris and with your 2 children. Hopefully they find out the truth about all the people they love who were in on their Dads death. Be aware and be safe.

  88. B.... ....

    This Beautiful song isn’t an easy song to sing as it’s usually sung in Latin . by someone like Pavarotti , Barbra Streisand , or Andrea Bocelli . but , Chris sang it and made it his own . Just wished the instrumentals weren’t so loud it was over powering his beautiful voice . But , I love it still ... and cry when I listen to this .I miss chis so much ! His voice is 1 of a kind ....

  89. c.... ....

  94. J.... I....

    No one sings like you anymore.

  95. H.... V....

    Your voice is stunning and heartfelt. Thank you, always for doing this rendition- the instrumental music does not do you justice -to the purity of your voice- but, it gives the feeling of a bygone era that is touching on one hand. My, Dear Brother Chris- you are so very missed - I will have so much admiration for you and your artistry always- I pray your heart is healed in every way in, God's loving presence. You have taken the journey we all must take ( and many of us avoid to think about daily) but, I pray it has brought you peace. Leaving this world has been the hardest for those you have left behind, Dear Soul. Almost a year later the sadness of your loss is still felt even within my soul. I especially pray for strength , healing and comfort for your dear wife, young children, parents - your siblings/ family and your closest friends - May, God's comfort and strength help them always- especially, as this one year anniversary of your tragic passing is soon is arriving. I'll love you always my sweet friend. 💔

  96. c.... J....

    Very good Chris Cornell

  97. w.... ....
