Ave Regina Coelorum | Hail Queen of Heaven

Ave Domina Angelorum | Hail Lady of Angels

Salve radix, salve porta | Hail root, hail gate

Ex qua mundo lux est orta | from which light has risen to the world

Gaude Virgo gloriosa | Rejoice, glorious Virgin

Super omnes speciosa | most fair of all

Vale, o valde decora | Vale, o valde decora

Et pro nobis Christum exora | Et pro nobis Christum exora
