Exaltata est sancta Dei genitrix, super choros angelorum ad caelestia regna:
Maria virgo caelos ascendit: Gaudete, quia cum Christo regnat in aeternum.
Variant 1
Virgo prudentissima quo progrederis
quasi aurora valde rutilans?

Filia Sion tota formosa et suavis es:
pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol.

The holy mother of God has gone up to the heavenly kingdom, above the choirs of angels:
The virgin Mary ascends to heaven. Rejoice, for she reigns with Christ in all eternity.
