Alma Redemptoris Mater quae pervia caeli porta manes et stella maris, succurre cadenti surgere qui curat populo: Tu quae genuisti natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem, virgo prius ac posterius Gabrielis ab ore: sumens illud ave, peccatorum miserere.
Blessed Mother of the Redeemer, who remains for us the open gate to heaven and star of the sea, help your people who have fallen yet strive to rise. You who, with nature gazing in wonder, bore your own holy Father, virgin before and after as from Gabriel's mouth:
accepting that salutation, have pity on us poor sinners.
