Salve Regina

Salve Regína, mater misericórdiæ;
vita, dulcédo, et spes nostra, salve;
ad te clamámus éxsules fílii Evæ,
ad te suspirámus,
geméntes et flentes in hac lacrimárum valle.
Eia ergo, advocáta nostra,
illos tuos misericórdes óculos ad nos convérte:
et Iesum, benedíctum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsílium osténde.
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo María.

℣. Ora pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genetrix.
℟. Ut digni efficiamur promissiónibus Christi.

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 do 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.

℣. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
℟. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
