Salve Regina, mater misericordiae!
Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve! |
Hail to thee, Queen, mother of mercy!
Our life, our consolation, and our hope, hail to thee! |
| |
Ad te clamamus exules filii Evae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes,
in hac lacrymarum valle. |
To thee we cry, we, the banished children of Eve.
To thee we sigh, sorrowing and weeping,
in this vale of tears. |
| |
Eja ergo, advocata nostra,
oculos tuos ad nos converte. |
Oh thou, our advocate,
turn thine eyes upon us. |
| |
Et post hoc exilium ostende nobis Jesum,
fructum ventris tui, |
And after our exile show to us Jesus,
the fruit of thy womb. |
| |
O clemens, o pia,
o dulcis virgo Maria! |
Oh compassionate, oh pious,
oh sweet Virgin Mary! |
This piece was performed by the SFBC in A Double Birthday Celebration on February 22, 1997.
