Stabat mater speciosa
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
1. Stabat Mater speciosa
Iuxta foenum gaudiosa
Dum iacebat parvulus

2. Cuius animam gaudentem
Laetabundam et ferventem
Pertransivit iubilus

3. O quam laeta et beata
Fuit illa immaculata
Mater unigeniti!

4. Quae gaudebat et ridebat,
Exultabat cum videbat
Nati partum incliti

5. Quis est, qui non gauderet,
Christi Matrem si videret
In tanto solacio?

6. Quis non posset collaetari,
Piam Matrem contemplari
Ludentem cum Filio?

7. Pro peccatis suae gentis
Vidit Iesum cum iumentis,
Et algori subditum.

8. Vidit suum dulcem natum
Vagientum adoratum
Vili diversorio

9. Nati Christus in praesepe
Coeli cives canunt laete
Cum immenso gaudio

10. Stabat senex cum puella
Non cum verbo nec loquela
Stupescentes cordibus

11. Eia Mater, fons amoris
Me sentire vim ardoris
Fac, ut tecum sentiam

12. Fac, ut ardeat cor meum
In amando Christum Deum
Ut sibi complaceam

13. Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Pone nostro ducas plagas
Cordi fixas valide.

14. Tui nati coelo lapsi,
Iam dignati foeno nasci,
Poenas mecum divide.

15. Fac me tecum congaudere
Iesulino cohaerere
Donec ego vixero

16. In me sistat ardor tui
Puerino fac me frui
Dum sum in exilio

17. Hunc ardorem fac communem,
Ne me facias immunem,
Ab hoc desiderio.

18. Virgo virginum praeclara,
Mihi iam non sis amara
Fac me parvum rapere

19. Fac, ut portem pulchrum fortem
Qui nascendo vicit mortem,
Volens vitam tradere.

20. Fac me tecum satiari,
Nato tuo inebriari,
Stans inter tripudia

21. Inflammatus et accensus
Obstupescit omnis sensus
Tali decommercio.

22. Fac me [nato]1 custodiri
[Verbo]2 Christi praemuniri
[Conservari]3 gratia

23. Quando corpus morietur,
Fac, ut animae donetur
Tui nati vis
