Salve Regina from Welcome Brigid by Katy Taylor

"Salve Regina"

Latin:
Salve Regina, mater misercordiae
Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra salve
Ad te clamamus exsulces filii Hevae
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes in hoc lacrimarum valle
Eia ergo advocata nostra illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte
Et Jesum benedictum ventris tui nobis post hoc exilum ostende
O clemens, o pia, ora pro nobis
O dulcis virgo Maria, ora pro nobis.

Translation:
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy.
Hail, 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 vale 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, pray for us
O sweet Virgen Mary, pray for us
