Triumph all ye Cherubim,
Sing with us, ye Seraphim,

Salve, salve, salve Regína!

O María!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe,
O María! Triumph, etc.

O María!
To thee we sigh, we mourn, we grieve,
O María! Triumph, etc.

O Maria!
A place of banishment, of fears,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.

O Maria!
Tow'rds us thine eyes compassionate,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.

O Maria!
Show us thy womb-born Jesus sweet,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.

O Maria!
O Virgin Mary, we entreat,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.
