Salve Regina
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiæ,
vita, dulcedo et spes nostra salve!
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Evæ.
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!
(Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix, ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi. Amen).
Hail Queen
Hail, Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, sweetness, and hope, hail!
To you we cry, exiled children of Eve.
To you we sigh, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.
Therefore, our advocate, turn those
merciful eyes of yours towards us.
And Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb,
show to us after this exile.
O merciful, o pious, o sweet
Virgin Mary!
(Pray for us, holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen).
