Under the lamp of diligence she entered her scene
To make the mask of cursed elements fall
And break the spell over these radiation phenomenons
That live and work concealed
With the oars of toil on an unbroken ocean
Of the passivity of the world around
She sailed the mystic caravan of the materials
With the weather vane pointing towards invisible radioactivity
Her mind burned with fascination and undisguised passion
When the darkness was lit up by isolated radium
Yet these studies consumed like the utmost erosion
And the passion became a suffering in the cells' rooms
Structure, attribute and transformation
Are the words that echo in your life's work
Marie Curie; your spirit is free
From unfulfilled dreams
You took chemistry to radiology
In the currents of alpha particles
Marie Curie; your ambition
To refine the methods of the experiments
Created a completely new academy
And you became its guiding star and mother
