Mariam Matrem Virginem
attollite
Ihesum Christum extollite
concorditer.

Exalt Mary, Virgin Mother,
Extol concordantly, Jesus Christ.

Maria seculi asilum
defende nos.
Ihesu totum refugium
exaudi nos.
Iam estis nos totaliter
diffugium
totum mundi confugium
realiter.

Mary, asylum for the world,
defend us.
Jesus, total refuge,
hear us.
You are, while we are totally
dispersed,
a complete safe haven from the world
truly.

Ihesu suprema bonitas
verissima.
Maria dulcis pietas
gratissima.
Amplissima conformiter
sit caritas
Ad nos quos pellit vanitas
enormiter.

Jesus, supreme goodness,
Full of truth,
Mary, sweet mercy
Full of grace,
May similarly superabound
Your love
Towards us who the vanity of life strikes
Enormously

Maria virgo humilis,
te colimus,
Ihesu desiderabilis,
te querimus,
Et volumus mentaliter
in superis
Frui cum sanctis angelis
perenniter.

Mary, humble virgin,
we honour you.
Desirable Jesus,
we long for you.
And mentally we want
in heaven
to delight with the holy angels
eternally

Ihesu, pro peccatoribus
qui passus es,
Maria, sta pro omnibus,
quae mater es,
Nam omnes nos labiliter
subsistimus,
Iuvari unde petimus
flebiliter.

Jesus, who for sinners,
Did suffer,
Mary, stand for [us] all
as you are a mother,
Because insecure is our
existence
therefore we beg for help,
weeping.

Maria facta saeculis
salvatio.
Ihesu dam[p]nati hominis
redemptio.
Pugnare quam viriliter
pro famulis
Percussis duris jaculis
atrociter.

Mary, used to procure for generations
Salvation.
Jesus, for damned mankind
redemption.
Fight as ardently
for your servants,
as they are being struck hard
atrociously
