| | Hi Aneta, I think the 3rd line should read:
"Cuius latus perforatum fluxit aqua et sanguine"
and there should be a last line which completes the poem:
"O Iesu dulcis, o Iesu pie, o Iesu fili Mariae."
Am I right?

| | "unda" and "aqua" are synonyms, so I think both are correct  |

| | I did 
Would you check the bridge?
"Hail, oh true body born from the Virgin Mary
Who suffered and was immolated on the cross by the man
From his pierced side flew water and blood
Be for us, remedy at the terrible time of death"

| | Great translation, Lilly!
Only tiny things:
Vere passum = (was)streched indeed
praegustatum? I wouldn't translate it "remedy". It is a participle from "praegusto, are" and I think the author says here about "eating body of Christ" - about Eucharisty (?) I don't know how you call it in English... |

| | Humm...
"Who was stretched and immolated..."?
'wafer' instead of 'remedy'? |
| |

| | the body of Christ was streched and immolated - the body of a son of Maria, from the first line...
yes "wafer" but it would be literal too much, you should use some methaphor.And it is not a noun but participle which can be translated as a verb too. For example, we (Polish people) call the process "accepting body of Christ"...? And it is about the process before the death. Am I clear now, dear Lilly? |

| | Hail, oh true body born from the Virgin Mary
Stretched and immolated on the cross by the man
From his pierced side flew water and blood
Be for us, the communion at the terrible time of death
What about that? |

| | Oh sorry, not "by the man", but "for man(kind)", I haven't noticed before... |
