Original text and translations

Latin text

O Maria piissima,
stella maris clarissima,
mater misericordiae
et causa pudicitiae,
angelorum imperatrix,
et totius mundi domina,
virgo inmarcescibilis,
splendor inextinguibilis,
virgo incomparabilis,
excellentissima regina caelorum.

O lilium convallium,
pauperum refugium,
O Dei mater, omnium plena virtutum,
virgo dulcissima,
virgo clemens et pia,
pro nobis Christum virgo semper exora.
