Original text and translations

Latin text

Ave sanctissima Maria,
Mater Dei, Regina coeli,
Porta paradisi, Domina mundi.
Pura singularis.
Tu es Virgo.
Tu concepisti Jesum sine peccato.
Tu peperisti Creatorem et Salvatorem mundi
in quo non dubito.
Libera nos ab omni malo
et ora pro peccatis nostris.
