原典阅读
Salve Regina
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.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished chidren of Eve; to thee do we send up our signs,
mouring and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocte,
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, O sweet Virgin Mary.
又圣母经
万福母后!仁慈的母亲,我们的生命,我们的甘饴, 我们的希望。厄娃子孙,在此尘世,向您哀呼。在这涕泣之谷,向您叹息哭求。我们的主啊,求您回顾,怜视我们。一旦流亡期满,使我们得见您的圣子,万民称颂的耶稣。童贞玛利亚,您是宽仁的,慈悲的,甘饴的。
