Full text: 

O post partum munda
Plus quam de fontibus unda.

O virgo pura,
Pro nobis dulciter ora
Ut via secura
Sit nobis mortis in hora.

Beata virgo Maria quae dominum portasti creatorem mundi. 

Genuisti qui te fecit et in aeternum permanens virgo.

Sentiant omnes tuum iuvamen, quicumque celebrant tuam sanctam commemorationem.

English translation: 

O you, who after birth were more pure than a stream from a spring.

O pure virgin, pray for us gently, so that we may have safe passage at the hour of our death.

Blessed virgin Mary, you who carried the Lord, creator of the world.

You gave birth to the one who made you and remained chaste in eternity.

May all men that celebrate your holy remembrance feel your help.
