I've traveled far, the land and the sea

Beautiful places I happened to be

One little town I'll never forget

Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette



Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia



There, like a dream, this wonderful night

I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light

A feeling divine swept over me there

I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer



Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia



Now I am whole, I'm happy to be

Telling of places I've traveled to see

One little town I'll never forget

Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette



Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia



Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
