Syriac Orthodox Hymn "Shlom Lekh" ሰላም አለኪ ማርያም

what a wonderful and soothing praise song from Syriac Orthodox Church, i was drawn into it because of the similarities of the syriac word with Geez. The praise song is called 'Shlom Lekh' which is almost the same as the Ge'ez 'Selam Eleki' which means 'Hail Mary'....i have tried my best at the translation to tigrinya below.....

Shlom lekh bthoolto Mariam.            Hail virgin mary 
Maliath taibootho                              Full of Grace    
Moran a'amekh                                Our Lord is with you                     
Mbarakhto at bneshey                      Blessed art thou among women 
Wambarakhoo                                 And Blessed
firo moran yeshue                            is the fruit of thy womb, Our LordJesus
O qadeeshto Mariam                       Virgin saint Maryam
Yoldath aloho                                  mother of God 
Saloy hlofain hatoyeh                      Pray for us Sinners
Hosho wabsho'ath mawtan.             Now and in the hour of our death    
Amin.                                               Amen 


GEEZ
