1 Stabat Mater dolorosa Iuxta crucem lacrimosa dum pendebat Filius. 2. Cuius animam gementem, contristatam et dolentem, pertransivit gladius. ... 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? ... 7. Pro peccatis suæ gentis vidit Iesum in tormentis et flagellis subditum. ... 9. Eia Mater, fons amoris, me sentire vim doloris fac, ut tecum lugeam. ... 12. Tui nati vulnerati, tam dignati pro me pati, pœnas mecum divide. ... 15. Virgo virginum præclara, mihi iam non sis amara: fac me tecum plangere. 16. Fac ut portem Christi mortem, passionis fac consortem, et plagas recolere. 17. Fac me plagis vulnerari, fac me cruce inebriari, et cruore Filii. ... 20. Quando corpus morietur, fac ut animæ donetur Paradisi gloria. Amen

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. ... 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 ? ... 7. Pour les péchés de son peuple, Elle vit Jésus dans le tourment Et exposé au fouet. ... 9. Ô Mère, source d'amour, Fais-moi sentir la force de la douleur Pour qu'avec toi je me lamente. ... 12. Ton Fils a été blessé, Il a jugé bon de tant souffrir pour moi, Laisse-moi partager avec moi ses peines. ... 15. Vierge des vierges, la plus fameuse, Ne sois pas pour moi maintenant amère Fais qu'avec toi je pleure. 16. Fais que je porte la mort du Christ, Fais-moi partager la passion Et subir à nouveau les plaies. 17. Fais que je sois blessé par ses plaies, Fais que la croix m'enivre Ainsi que le sang du Fils. ... 20. Quand mon corps mourra, Fais qu'à mon âme soit donnée La gloire du paradis.
