The translations I have seen are not very close to the actual Latin wording. But I am so rusty. Please have a look and straighten me out a bit:
**Flos Carmeli, vitis florigera, **
Flower of Carmel, blossoming vine
splendor caeli, virgo puerpera singularis.
Splendor of Heaven, unique virgin bearing child
**
Mater mitis sed viri nescia **
Tender mother, unknown by man
Carmelitis esto propitia stella maris.
Star of the sea, bestow your favor on those of Carmel
**Radix Iesse germinans flosculum **
Toot of Jesse, bearing a little flower
nos ad esse tecum in saeculum patiaris.
Always be near to us
Inter spinas quae crescis lilium
Lilly growing among spines
serva puras mentes fragilium tutelaris.
I don’t have a clue on this one
protect fragile servants of pure hearts
Armatura fortis pugnantium furunt bella tende praesidium scapularis.
Strong armor in storm of battle,lend the protection of your garment
**Per incerta prudens consilium **
Through uncertainties wise counsel
per adversa iuge solatium largiaris.
and adversities please grant comfort
**Mater dulcis Carmeli domina, **
Sweet Mother, Lady of Carmel
plebem tuam reple laetitia qua bearis.
fill your people with the joy you earned
**Paradisi clavis et ianua, **
Key and entranceto paradise
fac nos duci quo, Mater, gloria coronaris. Amen. (Alleluia.)
