Salve Regina, mater misericordiae, Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Evae. 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. Virgo mater ecclesiae, Aeterna porta gloriae, Esto nobis refugium Apud Patrem et Filium. O clemens! Virgo clemens, virgo pia, Virgo dulcis, O Maria, Exaudi preces omnium Ad te pie clamantium. O pia! Funde preces tuo nato, Crucifixo, vulnerato, Et pro nobis flagellato, Spinis puncto, felle potato. O dulcis Maria, salve!

Hail Queen, Mother of mercy, Our life, sweetness and hope; Hail. We, the exiled children of Eve, cry out to you. We sigh, lament, and grieve to you In this valley of weeping. Be therefore our advocate, Turn your merciful eyes toward us; And let us see the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus, after this banishment. Virgin, mother of the church, Eternal portal of glory, You are our refuge, With the Father and the Son. O mercy! Merciful Virgin, Reverential Virgin, Sweet Virgin, O Mary, Hear the prayers of all Who are crying out to you. O reverence! Prayers pour out for your child, Crucified, wounded And scourged for us, Pierced by thorns, offered gall to drink. O sweet Mary, hail!
