The Hail Reginaalso known as La Salve, is a Catholic prayer dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who made an appearance during the liturgies of the hours, in various monastic congregations, in the twelfth century. This prayer is traditionally sung in Latin and is part of the Gregorian chant repertoire. The Salve Regina, like the Ave Maria, is a greeting prayer and welcome to the Mother of God.
Salve Regina prayer in Latin
“Hail, Regina, Mater mercye.
Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, hail.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae.
Ad te sighs gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte; et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
Pray pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genitrix.
Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi. Amen.”
Prayer Hail Regina in Spanish
“God save you, Queen and Mother of Mercy.
Life, sweetness and our hope, God save you.
To you we call the exiled children of Eve.
To you we sigh moaning and crying in this valley of tears.
Ea, then, Lady, our lawyer, return to us those your merciful eyes; and after this exile show us Jesus, blessed fruit of your womb.
Oh merciful, oh pious, oh sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, Holy Mother of God. So that we become worthy of achieving the promises of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
