Salve Rainha

Hail Queen

Hail, Queen, Mother of mercy,
Life, sweetness, our hope,
Hail, hail, Queen!

To you we cry, exiled children of Eve.
To you we sigh, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
Your eyes of mercy toward us.
And after this our exile,
Show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Hail, Queen, Mother of mercy,
Our sweetness, our hope, O Virgin Mary.
Hail, Queen!
Hail, Queen,
Hail, hail!
