Текст песни Andrea Mattioli (1620-1679) - Ave Regina coelorum

Latin text

Ave Regina coelorum,
Ave Domina Angelorum:
Salve radix, salve porta,
[or Salve, radix sancta,]
Ex qua mundo lux est orta:
Gaude Virgo gloriosa,
Super omnes speciosa,
Vale, o valde decora,
Et pro nobis Christum [semper] exora.

English translation

Hail, Queen of the heavens,
Hail, ruler of the angels:
Hail, root, hail, portal
[or Hail, holy root]
From whom light has shone to the world.
Hail, Virgin most glorious,
Beautiful above all,
Farewell, O most comely,
And pray [always] to Christ for us.
