Original text and translations

Latin text

Inviolata, integra et casta es Maria
quae es effecta fulgida caeli porta.
O mater alma Christi carissima,
suscipe pia laudum praeconia nostra
ut pura pectora, sint et corpora.

Te nunc flagitant devota corda et ora.
Tua per precata dulcisona:
nobis concedas veniam per saecula.
O benigna quae sola inviolata permansisti.
