Salve Regina
English
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee to we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Latin
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae; vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes
oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix.
