1 Stabat Mater dolorosa
Iuxta crucem lacrimosa
dum pendebat Filius.

2. Cuius animam gementem,
contristatam et dolentem,
pertransivit gladius.

3. O quam tristis et afflicta
fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti.

4. Quæ mœrebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater cum videbat
Nati pœnas incliti.

5. Quis est homo qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si videret
in tanto supplicio?

 ... 

8. Vidit suum dulcem natum
moriendo desolatum,
dum emisit spiritum.

9. Eia Mater, fons amoris,
me sentire vim doloris
fac, ut tecum lugeam.

10. Fac ut ardeat cor meum
in amando Christum Deum,
ut sibi complaceam.

11. Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifixi fige plagas
cordi meo valide.

 ... 

16. Fac ut portem Christi mortem,
passionis fac consortem,
et plagas recolere.

1. La mère pleine de douleurs était debout
Au pied de la croix en larmes
Quand son Fils y pendait.

2. Son âme gémissante
Toute triste et pleine de douleurs
L'épée la transperça.

3. Comme elle était triste et désespérée
Celle qui était bénie,
La mère du Fils unique !

4. Elle s'affligeait et souffrait,
La mère affectueuse alors qu'elle voyait
Les peines de son Fils illustre.

5. Quel est l'homme qui ne pleurerait
S'il voyait la mère du Christ
Dans un si grand tourment ?

 ... 

8.Elle vit son doux enfant
Mourir abandonné,
Quand il rendit son esprit.

9. Ô Mère, source d'amour,
Fais-moi sentir la force de la douleur
Pour qu'avec toi je me lamente.

10. Fais que mon cœur brûle
En aimant le Christ, mon Dieu,
Que je lui plaise aussi.

11. Sainte Mère, je te prie,
Fixe les plaies du crucifié
En mon cœur fortement.

 ... 

16. Fais que je porte la mort du Christ,
Fais-moi partager la passion
Et subir à nouveau les plaies.
