Original text and translations

Latin and Spanish text I. Memorare, Mater Christi, Perturbata quae fuisti, Dum per Symeonis dictum Prescivisti cordis ictum. Ab Herodem fugiendo, Tibi, Virgo, condolendo, Precamur, ut a reatu Solvamur tuo precatu. Auxiata plus fuisti, Filium dum perdidisti, Lagrimando non cessabas, Donec Jesum, quem amabas, Reperisti: supplicamus, Per te Jesum sic queramus, Ut in hora mortis dirae Mereamur invenire. Rersum, Virgo, doluisti Captum natum cum scevisti, Dumque crucem bajulabat Et in mortem properabat. Fac nos crucem venerari, Ut per eam assignari Mereamur mortis hora, Christo regi sine mora. II. Iam te, Matrem gloriosam, Juxta crucem lacrymosam, Perforatam gladio Doloris pie recolo. Fac nos tibi condolere, Mortem Jesum tecum flere, Ne ingrati desperemus, Sed in fide recta stemus. Alma Virgo Redemptoris, Recordare nunc doloris, Quem in corde sustulisti, Quando Jesum sepulisti. Fac nos tibi famulatos Exhibere semper gratos, Ut nostrae mortis certamen Per te fiat dulce. Amen. Cantus firmus: Nunca fué pena mayor Nin tormento extraño Que iguale con el dolor Que resçibo engaño. Y este conocimiento Hace mis dias tan tristes.

English translation Translation by Mick Swithinbank I. Remember, mother of Christ, how distraught you were when Simeon's words gave you the presentiment of sorrow to come. We pray to you, Virgin, Who fled from Herod and deserve our sympathy, to intercede for forgiveness of our sins. You suffered even more When you lost your son, And did not cease to lament Until you regained Jesus, whom you loved. We beg that we may so seek Jesus through you That we shall deserve to find him in the hour of our death. Again, Virgin, you suffered When your son, who, as you knew, had been captured, bore his cross and hurried to his death. Help us so to honour the cross that, thanks to it, at the hour of our death We may deserve to be delivered at once to Christ the King. II. Now, glorious mother, I remember how you Wept by the cross, Pierced by the sword of pain. Let us share your sorrow, And weep with you at Jesus's death, That we ungrateful people may not despair But be upheld by the true faith. Kind Virgin of the Redeemer, Remember now the sorrow Which you bore in your heart When you buried Jesus. Help us always to be grateful to you As your servants, That through you our death struggle May be sweet. Amen. Cantus firmus: Never was there greater sorrow Or torment more extreme Than those which have been visited on me. And this knowledge Fills my days with misery.
