Assumpta est Maria in coelum, gaudent angeli,
(col)laudantes benedicunt Dominum.
Maria virgo assumpta est ad aethereum thalamum,
in quo Rex regum stellato sedet solio.

Assumpta est Maria in coelum, gaudent angeli, laudantes benedicunt Dominum.
Gaudete et exsultate omnes recti corde, quia hodie Maria virgo cum Christo regnat in aeternum.

Mary is taken up into heaven, the Angels rejoice, praising, they bless God.
Mary the Virgin is taken up into the heavenly chamber, in which the King of kings sits upon His starry throne.


English.png English translation Palestrina

Mary has been received into Heaven: the angels rejoice with praises and bless the Lord.
Let all rejoice and be glad with righteous heart, for today the Virgin Mary reigns with Christ for evermore.
