Original text and translations
Latin text
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?
English text
1. The beautiful Mother
stood joyously at the crib
in which her child lay
2. Through her exultant soul
Dancing with joy
Went a song of rejoicing
3. O how jubilant and blessed
was the immaculate
Mother of the Only-begotten
4. O how happy and laughing
And exultant did she watch
The birth of her divine son
5. Who would not rejoice
If he saw the Mother of Christ
In such comfort?
