Inviolata, integra et casta es, Maria.
Que es effecta fulgida caeli porta.
O mater alma Christi carissima,
suscipe pia laudum preconia.
Nostra ut pura pectora sint et corpora
Que nunc flagitant devota corda et ora.
Tua per precata dulcisona
Nobis concedas veniam per secula.
O benigna, O Regina, O Maria,
Que sola inviolata permansisti.

Inviolate, whole, and chaste are you, Mary,
Who has become the gleaming gate of heaven.
O dearest nurturing Mother of Christ,
accept our pious prayers of praise.
That our hearts and bodies might be pure
Our devout hearts and mouths now entreat.
By your sweet-sounding prayers,
Grant us forgiveness forever.
O blessed, O Queen, O Mary
You alone have remained inviolate.
