Sei Mutter der Barmherzigkeit, Sei Königin gegrüßet, Des Lebens Freud' und Süßigkeit, Durch die uns Trost zufließet. Zu dir, o Mutter, rufen wir, Mit Tränen seufzen wir zu dir, O wend' dein freundlich Angesicht Auf uns vom Himmels Throne. Versag' uns deine Fürbitt' nicht Bei Jesu, deinem Sohne, Nach unserm Tode zeig' uns ihn, Bei ihm sei uns're Mittlerin In aller Trübsal, in Angst und Not. O hilf uns in den Leiden, Hilf, tröste uns und bitt' bei Gott, Wenn wir von hinnen scheiden, Erwerb uns Sieg im letzten Streit, O Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!
Note: While Kohlbrenner's original text consists of three stanzas with 6 lines each, Schubert subdivided the text into four stanzas (4+4+5+5 lines). Kohlbrenner's Salve Regina has been reprinted many times in various prayer books, with small textual variations. While Schubert's actual text source is not known, comparatively close is Katholisches Gesangbuch zum allgemeinen Gebrauche bei öffentlichen Gottesverehrungen, Erster Band. München, 1810, pages 354-355.

Salut, mère de miséricorde, Salut , Reine, Joie et douceur de la vie, À travers elles, le réconfort vient vers nous. À toi, ô mère, nous lançons notre appel, Avec des larmes, nous soupirons vers toi, Oh, tourne ton visage amical Vers nous depuis le trône céleste. Ne nous refuse pas ton intercession Auprès de Jésus, ton fils, Après notre mort, mène-nous à lui, Près de lui tu es notre médiatrice, Dans toutes les afflictions, dans la crainte et la détresse. Oh, aide-nous dans la souffrance, Aide-nous console-nous et prie Dieu, Quand nous devons partir d'ici. Accorde-nous la victoire dans le dernier combat, Ô mère de miséricorde.
