| Laudemus virginem mater est, | We praise the Virgin Mother | Praise the Queen Virgin, our Holy One, |
| Et eius filius Iesus est, | And her son, Jesus; | And the Christ Jesus, Her only Son. |
| Plangamus scelera acriter | We mourn our sins keenly, | Keenly we mourn our sins and disgrace. |
| Sperantes in Iesum iugiter. | Our hope continually hope in Jesus. | Always in Jesus our hope we place. |
