The Second Explanation
التفسیر الثاني
The Lord said to Moses. In a loud voice to call him. Arise and build
an ark for Me. And overlay it with gold.
So therein may dwell My secrets. And also my covenant. From
shittim wood. And overlaid with gold.
You were likened O Mary. To the overlaid ark. And in it the
golden vessel.With the rational manna.
Your praise in my tongue. Is sweeter than honey. We offer praise to
You. O daughter of Zion.
O shining star. As a lit lamp. You held the Son of God. The Living,
Who is unseen.
He saved Adam. After the bondage. And returned him and his sons.
joyfully to Paradise.
You enlightened the world. After it was in darkness. And you carried
in your womb. The Son, the Logos (Word) of God.
You are the ark. You are the wisdom. You are our strength. And the
joy of the upright.
In due time, God desired and chose you. And sent unto you the
Logos (Word). With the Holy Spirit in you.
You held in your womb. The Lord your God. You nourished Him
with your milk. Like the rest of the humans.
Ezekiel prophesied. In a vision and said. I saw an eastern door. Closed at all sides.
Therein entered and came forth. The Most High King. And no harm
came to it. And it was continuously sealed.
Many witnessed of you. In prophecies and proverbs. He shall come
forth from you. The exalted Lord.
He shall save His people. At the end of days. Your Son granted us
salvation. O censer of Aaron.

Lyrics:
O Coptic bride of my Savior,
And the light of my homeland Egypt
With a flaming love in my heart,
I adore you Orthodox faith.

REFRAIN:
Mother of the martyrs is beautiful,
Mother of the honorable is noble 
She crossed the sea of all sufferings,
She preserved with her blood the faith.

(O Mother your love made me alive,
Your pain is the seed of my faith) (2)
You went through the worst of times,
And you got out of them victorious. REFRAIN.

(Your enemies struck you and hurt you,
They've put you in jails and have killed you) (2)
As food for beasts they made you,
And to every pain exposed you. REFRAIN.

(O Mother, how faithful you were,
And love of your bridegroom filled you) (2)
His sacraments He gave you,
And by his power you are guarded. REFRAIN.

(How beautiful is my wounded Mother,
For the sake of the Savior and His servants) (2)
Blessed is he who will love you,
Who will preserve your faith. REFRAIN.

(I hope my heart starts to love you,
So that I would live your faith) (2)
And chase away your enemies,
Renewing your old days. REFRAIN.

(O Mother, here I come,
Your love boiling in my veins) (2)
I promise with all my heart,
I shall serve my Father's church. REFRAIN.
