Salve Regina<br /><br />English<br />Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,<br />our life, our sweetness and our hope.<br />To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.<br />To thee to we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping<br />in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate,<br />thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile,<br />show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.<br /><br />O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.<br />--------------------<br />Latin<br />Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae; vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve. <br />Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes <br />in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes <br />oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, <br />nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.<br /><br />Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix.
