Translation:
Part 1: Empress of the joyous city of paradise, eternally happy,
purified of sin, abounding in virtues, Mother of God, by divine order;
pleasing Virgin with angelic face, because you are so gracious for God,
have pity for the faithful, pious one, praying for them to the celestial king.

Part 2: Virgin out of mercy, trusted by those who are to be defended from evil. And do not be enraged by the failures which we always commit, but give us shelter under your royal coat of mercy, because who is abounding in virtues can improve ordinary mud, since failure is of human flesh.
