See original

Language: Latin

Our translations: DUT ENG FRE FRE GER

Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve. 

Regina ad te clamamus, ad te suspiramus exules filii Evae.

Regina 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 O queen

(Sung text translation for setting by B. Strozzi)

See original

Language: English after the Latin

Hail O queen. Mother of mercy,
Our life, tenderness and hope; hail.

O queen to you we call, to you we sigh, exiled sons of Eve.

To you we sigh, groaning and weeping
In this valley of tears.

O our advocate, turn therefore
Those pitying eyes of yours
To us.

And show us after this exile
Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb.

O merciful, o holy, o tender virgin Mary.
