Sálve Regína, máter misericórdiæ:
Víta, dulcédo, et spes nóstra, sálve.
Ad te clamámus, éxules fílii Hévæ.
Ad te suspirámus, geméntes et fléntes
in hac lacrimárum válle.
Éia érgo, Advocáta nóstra,
íllos túos misericórdes óculos ad nos convérte.
Et Jésum, benedíctum frúctum véntris túi,
nóbis post hoc exsílium osténde.
O clémens, O pía, O dúlcis Vírgo María.

Hail, O Queen, mother of mercy,
our life, sweetness, and hope, hail.
To thee do we cry, banished children of Eve,
to thee do we sigh, mourning and weeping
in this vale of tears.
Behold then, our advocate,
turn thy merciful eyes upon us,
and after this our exile show unto us
the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O merciful, O pious, O sweet Virgin Mary.
