Original text and translations

Latin text O Maria, vernans rosa, Porta coeli speciosa, Clarior sideribus, Me guberna, me supporta, Me defende, me conforta Ne vincar ab hostibus. Tu lux pulchra, tu medela, Tu pax vera, tu tutela, Inimici frange tela Succurre cadentibus. Amen.

English translation O Mary, blossoming rose, Fair gate of heaven, Brighter than the stars Lead me, support me, Defend me, strengthen me That I not be overcome by enemies. You the beauteous light, you the healing, You true peace, you protection: Break the weapons of the enemy, Help the fallen. Amen..
