According to online sources, Ave Maris Stella (Mary Star of the Sea) was a hymn the Virgin Mary instructed St. Bridget to sing for protection when a mob threatened to burn her alive. "O Stella" seems to be referring more to the Virgin Mary herself.

Stella Marie you're my star
Stella Marie you're my star
Stand on ground look up at her
Just hanging in gold stone
Just hanging there face froze

But I think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go go go go go

Stella Marie you're my star
In your blue blue tavern
You light my lantern
O Stella's large
Pink on her face
It's glowing this place

A place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Go go go go go go go

Stella Marie you're my star
I pin you to my chest
Sell you to the rest
I kiss her gown
Send those angels down to woo me now

I think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go go go go go
