Salve Regina - Translation
Hail, Holy Queen Enthroned Above
(1)
Hail, holy Queen, enthron'd above O Maria!
Hail, Mother of Mercy and of Love! O Maria!
Refrain
Triumph, all ye Cherubim,
Sing with us, ye Seraphim,
Heav'n and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina.
(2)
Our life, our sweetness here below, O Maria!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe, O Maria!
(3)
To thee we cry, poor sons of Eve, O Maria!
To thee we sigh, we mourn, we grieve. O Maria!
(4)
This earth is but a veil of tears, O Maria!
A place of banishment, of fears, O Maria!
(5)
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, O Maria!
T'wards us thine eyes compassionate, O Maria!
(6)
When this our exile is complete, O Maria!
Show us thy Son, our Jesus sweet, O Maria!
(7)
O clement, gracious, Mother sweet, O Maria!
O virgin Mary, we entreat, O Maria!
