Original text and translations

Latin text

Maria virgo semper laetare,
quae meruisti Christum portare,
caeli et terrae conditorem
quia de tuo utero protulisti mundi salvatorem.

Veni sponsa Christi, accipe coronam
quam tibi Dominus praeparavit in aeternum
quia de tuo utero protulisti mundi salvatorem.
