685. Salve, Regina (Hail, Holy Queen)

Salve, Regina,
mater misericordiae:
Vita, dulcedo,
et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus,
exsules, filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus,
gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia, ergo,
Advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes
oculos ad nos converte.
Et Jesum, benedictum
fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia,
O dulcis Virgo Maria.
