In English [1]
Mother of God, Virgin, by God glorified Mary,
From your son, our Lord, chosen mother, Mary!
Win over for us, send to us.
Kyrie eleison!
Son of God, for the sake of your Baptist,
Hear our voices, fulfill man’s intentions.
Hearken to the prayer that we offer,
And deign to give us what we ask for:
On earth, a pious sojourn,
After life, heavenly residence.
Kyrie eleison!
In Polish
Bogurodzica dziewica, Bogiem sławiena Maryja.
U twego syna, Gospodzina, matko zwolena, Maryja!
Zyszczy nam, spuści nam.
Kyrie eleison.
Twego dziela Krzciciela, Bożycze,
Usłysz głosy, napełń myśli człowiecze!
Słysz modlitwę, jąż nosimy,
A dać raczy, jenoż prosimy:
A na świecie zbożny pobyt,
Po żywocie rajski przebyt.
Kyrie eleison.
