Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae (Anonymous, set by A. Scarlatti, H. Howells, F. Poulenc, B. Strozzi) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve. 

[Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Evae.]¹

[Ad]² 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.
