Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae: Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes In hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, Advocata nostra,
Illos tuos misericordes oculos
Ad nos converte.
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens! O pia!
O dulcis Virgo Maria!
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve
To thee do we send up our sighs
Mourning and weeping in this vale of tears
Turn then, O most gracious Advocate
Thine eyes of mercy towards us
And after this, our exile
Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus
O clement! O loving! O sweet Virgin Mary!
