O intemerata Virgo

Language: Latin

Available translation(s): ENG FRE

O intemerata Virgo,
quae Redemptorem Israel peperisti,
et post partum
virgo permansisti.
Dei genitrix,
intercede pro nobis
et ne despicias preces nostras
quia ore indigno
nomen sanctum tuum invocavimus
0 gloriosa domina,
pro nobis Christum exora.

Ô vierge sans tache

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Ô vierge sans tache
Qui a enfanté le rédempteur d'Israël,
Et après l'accouchement
Es restée vierge.
Mère de Dieu,
Intercède pour nous,
Et ne te moques pas de nos prières
Parce que d'une bouche indigne
Nous invoquons ton saint nom.
Ô souveraine glorieuse,
Prie pour nous le Christ.
