3. Salve Regina
Salve Regina, mater misericordiae;
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Evae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrymarum valle.
Eia ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.

Virgo mater ecclesiae,
Virgo dulcis o Maria,
Esto nobis refugium
Apud Patrem et Filium.

O clemens ! O Pia! O dulcis Maria, salve !

Hail O Queen, mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope, hail.
To you we cry, exiled children of Eve.
To you we sigh, as we mourn and weep in this valley of tears.
Ah then, our advocate, turn those merciful eyes of yours upon us;
and Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb, show to us after our exile here..

Virgin mother of the church,
O sweet virgin Mary,
be our refuge
before the Father and the Son.

O gentle! O loving! O sweet Mary, Hail

From an early version of the Salve Regina
