Loving mother of the Redeemer,
gate of heaven, star of the sea,
assist your people who have fallen yet strive to rise again.
To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator,
Yet remained a virgin after as before.
You who received Gabriel’s joyful greeting,
have pity on us poor sinners.

Alma Redemptóris Mater,
quae pérvia caéli pórta mánes,
et stélla máris,
succúrre cadénti
súrgere qui cúrat pópulo:
Tu quae genuísti, natúra miránte,
túum sánctum Genitórem:
Virgo prius ac postérius,
Gabriélis ab óre
súmens íllud Ave,
peccatórum miserére.
