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.

O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria.
