Die du Gott gebarst, du Reine, Und alleine Uns gelös't aus unsern Ketten, Mach mich fröhlich, der ich weine, Denn nur deine Huld und Gnade mag uns retten. Herrin, ganz zu [dir mich]1 wende, Daß sich ende Diese Qual und dieses Grauen, Daß der Tod [mich furchtlos]2 fände, Und nicht blende Mich das Licht der Himmelsauen. Weil du unbefleckt geboren, Auserkoren Zu des ew'gen Ruhmes Stätten Wie mich Leiden auch um floren, Unverloren Bin ich doch, willst du mich retten.

Tu que donares a llum Déu, tu immaculada, i l’única que ens ha alliberat de les nostres cadenes, fes-me joiós, jo que ploro, car solament la teva gràcia i mercè ens poden salvar. Senyora, m’adreço enterament a tu perquè cessin aquest turment i aquest horror, que la mort em trobi sense temença, i que no m’encegui la llum dels prats celestials. Tu que naixeres immaculada, escollida per al reialme de la glòria eterna, per bé que les penes m’envelin, perdut no estic encara, si tu em vols salvar.
