The conclave of cardinals that elects the pope are secret so we will never know what was said right after the election of Benedict.
We do the first word he said as Pope was "I accept" as he needed to accept the office and the second would be "Benedict" as he was asked which name he would use.

∙ 9y agohe first speech by Pope Benedict XVI was given from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica:
"Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope, John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me, a simple and humble worker in the Lord's vineyard.
The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers.
In the joy of the resurrected Lord, we go on with his help. He is going to help us and Mary will be on our side. Thank you"
