Translation by (Karl) Wilhelm Osterwald (1820 - 1887)

O Roma nobilis, orbis et domina
Language: Latin 
O Roma nobilis, orbis et domina, 
Cunctarum urbium excellentissima,
Roseo martyrum sanguine rubea,
Albis et virginum liliis candida,
Salutem dicimus tibi per omnia
Te benedicimus: salve per saecula.
