Original text and translations

Latin text Dulcissima Maria, amore tuo langueo, quia suavis et benigna es. Vultum tuum deprecabuntur omnes divites plebis. Pulchra es virgo Maria, et macula non est in te. Audi nos sanctissima, et intercede pro nobis ad Dominum Iesum Filium tuum Dominum nostrum.

English translation Sweet Mary, I languish for love of you, for you are goodnatured and kind. All who are wealthy among the people make entreaties to you. You are beautiful, Mary, and there is no fault in you. Hear us, most holy one, and intercede for us to our Lord Jesus, your son. Translation by Mick Swithinbank

Spanish translation

(Ct 4,7; 5,8; Ps 45,13)
Dulcísima María, por tu amor languidezco
porque eres dulce y benigna.
Todos los poderosos del pueblo
suplicarán ante tu presencia.
Eres hermosa, virgen María, y no hay mancha en ti.
Escúchanos, santísima, e intercede por nosotros ante Jesús,
Hijo tuyo y Señor nuestro.
Translation by Alejandro Borrego Pérez
