Here you
can find translations to some of the foreign language pieces we have
performed...
Agnus
Dei:
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world:
Have mercy on us.
Locus
Iste:
This place was made by God
an inestimable sacrament;
there is no fault in it.
Cantate
Domino:
Sing to the Lord a new song,
sing to the Lord, all the earth
Sing to the Lord, and bless his Name.
Announce His salvation from day to day,
proclaim His glory among the heathen,
among all peoples His wonders.
Sicut
Cervus:
Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks,
so longeth my soul after thee, O God!
Psalm 42:1
O
Beata Trinitas:
O Blessed Trinity!
We praise You and glorify You!
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!
Alleluia!
Con
Que La Lavare:
With what, how shall I cleanse
the hue of this my countenance?
With what, how shall I cleanse
my life of blight and sorrow?
The graceful bathe their faces
with juice from streaming lemons
My cure is naught but distress and anguish and great passion.
With what, how shall I cleanse
the hue of this my countenance?
With what, how shall I cleanse
my life of blight and sorrow?
Il
Est Bel Et Bon:
My husband's a handsome good fellow, dear.
There were two country women,
and one said to the other:
'you have a good husband.'
He doesn't annoy me,
he doesn't beat me either.
He does the cleaning,
he feeds the chickens,
and I take my pleasure.
Doesn't it make you laugh, dear,
when the chickens cluck:
'little flirt'.
Il
Bianco E Dolce Cigno:
The sweet white swan dies whiles singing,
and I while weeping reach the end of my life.
What a strange and different fate,
for he dies comfortless,
while I die a blissful death,
a death which fills me with joy and desire.
If I feel no other pain than this in dying,
I should be content to die a thousand deaths a day.
Ubi
Caritas:
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ's love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And let us love Him with a sincere heart.
