Salve Regina (see wiki) is a well-known traditional chant in honour of the Virgin Mary. It was composed in Latin during the Middle Ages and it's been translated into several modern languages. First line says: Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae ("Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy").




Now the anarcho-punk "version" of Spanish band La Polla Records:



"Salve, Regina!
Mater misericordiae!

Mater misericordiae!

With the excuse of promising
the Kingdom of Heaven,
some rascals are making
their own particular heaven on Earth.
«Buy a piece of Heaven,
payable in monthly instalments»


Salve, Regina!
Mater misericordiae!

Mater misericordiae!


One has to be a nut
to talk about the love of God
and at the same time, in schools,
to be instructing the high commanders
of the fascist repression.
How can one be so pharisee!


Salve, Regina!
Mater misericordiae!

Mater misericordiae!


(...)
