Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Nunc aperuit nobis
clausa porta
quod serpens in muliere suffocavit,
unde lucet in aurora
flos de Virgine Maria.

English.png English translation

Now a bolted gate
has opened for us
that which the serpent closed off in Eve,
whence the flower of the Virgin Mary
shines in the dawn.
