Creo que para que suene bien en inglés hay que cambiar la oración un poco. Si se refiere a la Virgen María se podría decir algo como:
My beloved Virgen Mary, you who are capable of anything, don't forsake me
My beloved Virgen Mary, you who are capable of anything, don't forsake me

: I agree. Beloved is more appropriate than "little virgin". I think this is the best translation!

Thanks mary. Blessed is a good option as well. I chose beloved because I think it gets across the idea of love/adoration expressed by the use of the diminutive Virgencita

El diminutivo "Virgencita" se pudiera ser un sinonimo de sweet.

Spanish term (edited):

Sweet Virgin Mary, who can do all things, forsake me not.
I think "who can do all things" is the usual expression rather than "capable of everything."

Since the diminutive is used here, I think the idea of a "powerful" Virgin Mary would not be the appropriate translation.

"Virgen Mary, Mother of God" is used extensively in prayer, both in those established and in what the faithful might be inclined to say in private moments. Having gone to a Catholic grammar/elementary (K-8) school in my youth, I remember very well what was said in this context of prayer/worship (in English).
I agree with marybro: "Blessed Virgen (Mary)" is an excellent option (often used by monolingual native-speakers in the US).
Virgencita, tú que todo lo puedes, no me desampares = Oh Blessed Virgen (Mary), Mother of God, you, capable of all things / you, with your infinite/power / you, with your divine (wisdom and) power, leave me not in my own hands/do not abandon me/do not forsake me

: Capable of all things sounds more like a religious oration than capable of anything to me, so I would opt for this. Blessed Virgin also sounds correct spelt with two i's as opposed to the Spanish spelling.

Same here: capable of all things is more consistent with the language of this context. Thanks for pointing out the spelling error. :-)
