Salve Regina is a votive antiphon, one of the four Breviary anthems of the Blessed Virgin Mary sung at the end of Compline. It is assigned to the season from the First Vespers of Trinity Sunday until None of the Saturday before Advent.

The traditional ascription to Hermannus Contractus (1013-54) is now rejected by scholars.

Salve Regina, Mater Misericordiae,
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, Salve!
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii [H]evae,
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes,
In hac lacrimarum valle.
Eja ergo, Advocata nostra,
Illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
Nobis, post hoc exilium, ostende,
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

French.png French translation

Salut, Reine, mère de miséricorde;
notre vie, notre douceur et notre espérance, salut.
Vers toi nous crions, nous les enfants d'Ève exilés.
Vers toi nous soupirons, gémissant et pleurant
dans cette vallée de larmes.
Alors, toi qui es notre avocate,
tourne vers nous
tes yeux pleins de miséricorde.
Et après cet exil, montre-nous
Jésus, le fruit béni de ton sein,
Ô clémente, bienveillante et douce Vierge Marie.

Translation by Claire Delavallée

Sei gegrüßt, o Königin,
Mutter der Barmherzigkeit;
unser Leben, unsere Wonne
und unsere Hoffnung, sei gegrüßt!
Zu dir rufen wir verbannte Kinder Evas;
zu dir seufzen wir
trauernd und weinend in diesem Tal der Tränen.
Wohlan denn, unsere Fürsprecherin,
wende deine barmherzigen Augen uns zu
und nach diesem Elend zeige uns Jesus,
die gebenedeite Frucht deines Leibes!
O gütige, o milde, o süße Jungfrau Maria.

Dios te salve, Reina y Madre de Misericordia,
vida, dulzura y esperanza nuestra. Dios te salve.
A ti llamamos, los desterrados hijos de Eva;
a ti suspiramos, gimiendo y llorando en este valle de lágrimas.
Ea, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra,
vuelve a nosotros esos tus ojos misericordiosos,
y después de este destierro muéstranos a Jesús,
fruto de tu bendito vientre.
Oh clemente, oh piadosa, oh dulce Virgen María.

Hil dig, Dronning, barmhjertige moder.
Vores liv, fromhed og håb, hil.
Til dig råber Evas forviste børn.
Til dig går vores klage, jammer og gråd
i denne tåredal.
O du, vores advokat,
vend mod os dine barmhjertige øjne,
og vis os efter dette eksil Jesus,
den velsignede frugt fra dit skød.
O milde, o barmhjertige, o søde Jomfru Maria.

Üdvöz légy, Úrnőnk, irgalmasságnak asszonya!
Élet, édesség, reménycsillag, áldunk.
Most kérve kérlel Évának száműzött népe.
Hozzád sóhajtozunk, sírva és zokogva
siralmaink völgye mélyén.

Hallgass meg hát, égi közbenjárónk!
Kegyes Anyánk, két szemed áldott sugarát fordítsd ránk végre!
És Jézust mutasd nekünk, méhed szent gyümölcsét,
hogy őt e számkivetés múltán lássuk!
Ó áldott, ó drága, ó édes, szép Szűz Mária!

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
[Hail] our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
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.

Salve, Rainha, Mãe de misericórdia,
Vida, doçura, e esperança nossa, salve.
A Vós bradamos, os degradados filhos de Eva,
A Vós suspiramos, gemendo e chorando,
Neste vale de lágrimas.
Eia, pois, Advogada nossa,
Esses vossos olhos misericordiosos a nós volvei.
E depois deste desterro,
Nos mostrai Jesus, bendito fruto do vosso ventre.
Ó clemente, ó piedosa, ó doce Virgem Maria.

Witaj Królowo, Matko miłosierdzia,
życie, słodyczy i nadziejo nasza, witaj!
Do Ciebie wołamy wygnańcy Ewy;
do Ciebie wzdychamy jęcząc i płacząc na tym łez padole.
Przeto, Orędowniczko nasza,
one miłosierne oczy Twoje na nas zwróć,
a Jezusa błogosławiony owoc żywota Twojego,
po tym wygnaniu nam okaż.
O łaskawa, o litościwa, o słodka Panno Maryjo!

Dutch.png Dutch translation

Wees gegroet, koningin, moeder van barmhartigheid;
ons leven, onze vreugde en onze hoop, wees gegroet.
Tot u roepen wij, ballingen, kinderen van Eva;
tot u smeken wij, zuchtend en wenend
in dit dal van tranen.
Daarom dan, onze voorspreekster,
sla op ons uw barmhartige ogen;
en toon ons, na deze ballingschap,
Jezus de gezegende vrucht van uw schoot.
O goedertieren, o liefdevolle, o zoete maagd Maria.
Bid voor ons heilige moeder van God
Opdat wij de beloften van Christus waardig worden.

Slovak.png Slovak translation

Zdravas Kráľovná, Matka milosrdensta,
Život náš i sladkosť a nádej naša, zdravas!
K Tebe voláme, hriešni synovia Evy
v tomo sĺz údolí stenajúci, plačúci.
A preto teda orodovnica naša ukáž nám
tie svoje premilosrdné oči
a nám Ježiša ktorý je požehnaný
plod života tvoho tam vo večnosti ukáž
Ó Milostivá a nad všetkých pobožná,
ó presladká Panna Matka božia Mária.

Common Prayer
Lạy Nữ Vương, Mẹ nhân lành
làm cho chúng con được sống, được vui, được cậy, thân lạy Mẹ!
Chúng con, con cháu Evà ở chốn khách đầy, kêu đến cùng Bà;
Chúng con ở nơi khóc lóc than thở kêu khấn Bà thương.
Hỡi ôi! Bà là Chủ bầu chúng con,
xin ghé mắt thương xem chúng con.
Đến sau khỏi đày, xin cho chúng con được thấy
Đức Chúa Giêsu, Con lòng Bà gồm phúc lạ.
Ôi khoan thay, nhân thay, dịu thay, Thánh Maria trọn đời đồng trinh. Amen.

Variant translation
Compline:
Kính chào Đức Nữ Vương, Bà là Mẹ xót thương,
Ngọt ngào cho cuộc sống, Kính chào Lẽ Cậy Trông!
Này con cháu Evà, thân phận người lưu lạc, chúng con ngửa trông Bà,
Kêu Bà mà khóc lóc, than thở với rên la,
Trong lũng đầy nước mắt.
Bà là Nữ Trạng Sư,
Nguyện đưa mắt nhân từ, phía đoàn con đoái lại;
Và sau đời khổ ải, xin Bà khứng tỏ ra cho đoàn con được thấy
Quả phúc bởi lòng Bà, Đức Giêsu khả ái.
Ôi lượng cả khoan hồng, ôi tấm lòng xót thương, ôi dịu hiền nhân hậu, Trinh Nữ Maria.

And scourged for us,
By thorns pierced, with gall for drink.

O sweet Mary, hail!
