Memoráre, o piíssima Virgo María,
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
non esse audítum a saéculo,
that never was it known
quemquam ad tua curréntem praesídia,
that anyone who fled to your protection,
tua implorántem auxília,
implored your help,
tua peténtem suffrágia,
or sought your intercession,
esse derelíctum.
was left unaided.
Ego tali animátus confidéntia,
Inspired by this confidence,
ad te, Virgo Vírginum, Mater, curro,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
ad te vénio, coram te gemens peccátor assísto.
To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despícere;
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions;
sed áudi propítia et exáudi.
but in your mercy hear and answer me.
