Alma Redemptóris Mater,
Loving Mother of the Redeemer,
quæ pérvia cǽli porta manes,
gate of heaven,
et stella maris, succúrre cadénti súrgere qui curat pópulo :
star of the sea, assist your people who have fallen yet strive to rise again.
Tu quæ genuísti, natúra miránte, tuum sanctum Genitórem :
To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator,
Virgo prius ac postérius, Gabriélis ab ore sumens illud Ave,
yet remained a virgin after as before. You who received Gabriel's joyful greeting,
peccatórum miserére.
have pity on us poor sinners.
