Original text and translations
Gaude virgo, Mater Christi, quae per aurem concepisti,
Gabriele nuntio.
Gaude, quia Deo plena peperisti sine poena,
Cum pudoris lilio.
Gaude, quia tui Nati, quem dolebas mortem pati,
Fulget resurrectio.
Gaude, Christo ascendente, et in coelum te vidente,
Motu fertur proprio.
Gaude, quae post ipsum scandis, et est honor tibi grandis,
In coeli palatio.
Ubi fructus ventris tui per te detur nobis frui
In perenni gaudio. Alleluia.
Rejoice, virgin, mother of Christ, who conceived through your ear by the messenger Gabriel.
Rejoice, for full of God, you gave birth without pain, retaining the lily of modesty.
Rejoice, for your son, whose death you mourned, shines in the resurrection.
Rejoice, for as Christ ascends, while you look on, into heaven, he is borne of his own accord.
Rejoice, you who ascend after him, for there is great honour for you in the palace of heaven.
May the fruit of your womb, through you, be given to us in everlasting joy. Alleluia.
