We are unmarried youths and maidens　　
In Diana's strength secure　　
And as befits us, youths and maidens　　
Let us now sing of Her.　　
We sing to You, Latona's daughter, 　　
Great child of greatest Jove
Whose mother gave You birth within　　
A Delian olive grove,
To be the mistress of the mountains　　
and greening woods, to rule
wild hidden hinterlands, the resonant　　
river, the calm deep pool. 
Women in labor crying out　　
call You light-bringer Juno.
But You are Crossroad Trivia too　　
And the light-borrowing Luna. 
In monthly measures you divide　　
The year's course, usher back
The bounty harvest of the farmer　　
Into his rural shack.
By any name you choose be pleased　　
With this our worship. Hold
The Roman Race safe in your strength　　
As once you did of old. 

The Original:

Dīānae sumus in fide　　
puellae et puerī integrī:　　
Dīānam puerī integrī　　
puellaeque canāmus.
ō Lātōnia, maximī       　　
magna prōgeniēs Iovis,　　
quam māter prope Dēliam　　
dēposīvit olīvam,
montium domina ut forēs　　
silvārumque virentium        　　
saltuumque reconditōrum　　
amniumque sonantum:
tū Lūcīna dolentibus　　
Iūnō dicta puerperīs,　　
tū potēns Trivia et nothō es        　　
dicta lūmine Lūna.
tū cursū, dea, mēnstruō　　
mētiēns iter annuum,　　
rūstica agricolae bonīs　　
tēcta frūgibus explēs.    
sīs quōcumque tibi placet　　
sāncta nōmine, Rōmulīque,　　
antīquē ut solita es, bona　　
sōspitēs ope gentem.
