O Porta Caeli, O stella maris,
O Virgo Mater, O Mater et Virgo
o Dei Filia, o Mater Virgo, Virgo Maria,
exaudi voces quas fundunt populi clamores percipe
et preces suscipe affer auxilium clamantes auspice.
Exaudi supplicum preces fidelium, Virgo Maria
O corona Virginitatis Maria
O pretiosa mundi Margarita
O decus Angelorum
O nostrum refugium
O Lampas Caeli et terrae gloria Virgo Maria
exaudi voces quas fundunt populi clamores percipe
et preces suscipe affer auxilium clamantes auspice.
Exaudi supplicum preces fidelium, Virgo Maria
O terror Demonum
o Virgo praeclara
o Mater suavis
o pulchra rosa
o summa Regis filia
Virgo Maria
exaudi voces quas fundunt populi clamores percipe
et preces suscipe affer auxilium clamantes auspice.
Exaudi supplicum preces fidelium, Virgo Maria.
English translation <poem> O Door to heaven, o Star of the sea, o virgin mother, mother and maid, hear the voices of the people crying out to thee, and receive the prayers, offering help to those who implore thee. O unspoiled Mary, give ear to the supplication of thy faithful. O Mary, crown of virtue, O Margaret, prize of this world, O glory of the angels, O thou our refuge, O glorious light of heaven and earth, virgin Mary, hear the voices... O terror of demons, O shining virgin, O sweet mother, O beautiful rose, O highest-born daughter of the King, hear the voices...
