Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae;
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae;
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.
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy;
hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
To thee do we send our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy towards us;
And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Virgin Mother of the Church,
Sweet Virgin, O Maria
Be our refuge with the Father and the Son,
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Adhemar de Monteil and St. Bernard
