Texts & English Translation
O Maria, tu dulcis, tu pia, tu Clemens, tu dulcis, tu pia, tu mater Dei, O Maria.
Tu vera infirmorum salus, tu vera peccatorum refugium, O Maria, tu vera afflictorum consolatrix, O Maria, tu vera spes omnium fidelium, O Maria.
O Maria, tu sponsa, tu virgo, tu mater, tu Spiritus Sancti sacrarium, O Maria, O advocata nostra, respice in nos oculis misericordiæ tuæ, O clementissima regina, respice in nos in hac lachrymarum valle gementes et flentes, respice in nos qui suspiramus ad te clamantes, clamamus ad te suspirantes.
O Maria, tu via, tu stella, tu lumen, tu stella, tu via, tu mater Dei, O Maria.
O Mary, sweet and good, you who are merciful, sweet, good, the mother of God, O Mary.
You true health of the sick, you true refuge of sinners, O Mary, you who truly consoles the afflicted, O Mary, you true hope of all the faithful, O Mary.
O Mary, you spouse, you virgin, you mother, you temple of the Holy Spirit, O Mary, O our advocate; look to us with your eyes of mercy, O most kindly queen, look to us in this vale of tears, us who are weeping and mourning, look to us who sigh crying to you, who cry sighing to you.
O Mary, you path, you star, you light, you star, you path, you mother of God, O Mary.
