Salve Mater misericordiae,
Mater Dei et Mater veniae,
Mater spei et Mater gratiae,
Mater plena Sanctae Laetitiae,
O Maria!
Salve decus humani generis.
Salve Virgo dignior ceteris,
quae virgines omnes transgrederis
et altius sedes in superis.
O Maria!
Salve Mater misericordiae,
Salve felix Virgo puerpera:
Nam qui sedet in Patris dextera,
Caelum regens, terram et aethera,
Intra tua se clasit viscera.
O Maria!
Salve Mater misericordiae,
Esto, Mater, nostrum solatium:
Nostrum esto, tu Virgo, guadium,
et nos tandem post hoc exsilium,
Laetos juge choris caelestium.
O Maria!
Salve Mater misericordiae,
Mater Dei et Mater veniae,
Mater spei et Mater gratiae,
Mater plena Sanctae Laetitiae,
O Maria!
English translation.
Hail Mother of Mercy,
Mother of God and Mother of Pardon,
Mother of Hope and Mother of Grace,
Mother full of Holy Gladness.
O Mary !
Hail, honour of the mankind.
Hail worthier Virgin than the other ones
because you overcome all of them
and in the Heaven you occupy
the highest seat of honour.
O Mary !
Hail Mother of Mercy,
Hail Blest Virgin yet bearing Child:
For He who sits at The Father's Right-Hand.
The Ruler of Heaven, of Earth and Sky,
has sheltered Himself in your womb.
O Mary !
Hail Mother of Mercy,
Become, O Mother, our solace:
Be for us our source of joy,
and at the last, after this exile,
unite us rejoicing to The Choir of Angels.
O Mary !
Hail Mother of Mercy,
Mother of God and Mother of Pardon,
Mother of Hope and Mother of Grace,
Mother full of Holy Gladness.
O Mary !
