Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Alma coelestium, Regina civitum,
   Parens terrestrium, Maria salve.
   Vita credentium Mater viventium,
   Spes poenitentium, Maria salve.

2. Altis singultibus, Ad te pro viribus,
   Adami soboles, Clamamus salve.
   Hoc pressimentibus, Perfusi fletibus,
   Clamamus exules Maria salve.

3. Hoc omnes centies, Hoc infinities
   Alternis vocibus Clamamus salve.
   Hoc psallant Angeli, Plaudant Archangeli
   Aeternis cantibus. Maria salve.

4. Quot frondes nemorum, Quot fructus arborum,
   Tot lingue concinant Maria salve.
   Quot campis stramina, Quot pratis gramina,
   Tot voces accinant Maria salve.

5. In altis montibus, Profundis fontibus
   Vox ista consonet Maria salve.
   Ex inis vallibus Ex primis callibus
   Vox ista resonet Maria salve.

6. Ex toto pectore, Prostrati corpore,
   In hoc exillio Clamamus salve.
   Cum mors advenerit Et diem clauserit,
   Cum tuo Filio Maria salve.
