1.Hail! holy Queen enthron'd above,

Hail! Mother of mercy and of love,
O María!

Triumph all ye Cherubim,
Sing with us, ye Seraphim,

Salve, salve, salve Regína!

O María!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe,
O María! Triumph, etc.

3.To thee we cry, poor sons of Eve,
O María!
To thee we sigh, we mourn, we grieve,
O María! Triumph, etc.

4.This earth is but a vale of tears,
O Maria!
A place of banishment, of fears,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.

5.Turn, then, most gracious Advocate,
O Maria!
Tow'rds us thine eyes compassionate,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.

6.When this our exile is complete,
O Maria!
Show us thy womb-born Jesus sweet,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.

O Maria!
O Virgin Mary, we entreat,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.
