Latina

[Coro doppio]

Veni, veni, venias,
ne me mori facias,
     hyrca, hyrce, nazaza,
     trillirivos!

Pulchra tibi facies,
oculorum acies,
capillorum series,
o quam clara species!

Rosa rubicundior,
lilio candidior,
omnibus formosior,
semper in te glorior!

 

English

[Double Chorus]

Come, come, O come,
do not let me die,
     hyrca, hyrce, nazaza,
     trillirivos!

Beautiful is your face,
the gleam of your eye,
your braided hair,
what a glorious creature!

Redder than the rose,
whiter than the lily,
lovelier than all others,
I shall always glory in you!
