Ad cor

Language: Latin

Our translations: FRE

"Vulnerasti cor meum, soror mea, sponsa."¹

Summi regis cor, aveto,
Te saluto corde laeto,
Te complecti me delectat
Et hoc meum cor affectat,
Ut ad te loquar animes.

Per medullam cordis mei,
Peccatoris atque rei,
Tuus amor transferatur,
Quo cor tuum rapiatur
Languens amoris vulnere.

Viva cordis voce clamo,
Dulce cor, te namque amo,
Ad cor meum inclinare,
Ut se possit applicare
Devoto tibi pectore.

"Vulnerasti cor meum, soror mea, sponsa."

Au cœur

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Tu as blessé mon cœur, ma sœur, mon épouse.

Cœur du plus haut des rois, salut,
Je te salue d'un cœur joyeux,
T'embrasser me délecte,
Et cela atteint mon cœur,
À te parler, dispose-le.

Par le milieu de mon cœur,
De pécheur et d'accusé,
Que ton amour soit porté,
Par qui ton cœur a été saisi,
Languissant des blessures de l'amour.

J'appelle avec la voix vive du cœur,
Doux cœur, car je t'aime,
Pour t'incliner vers mon cœur,
Pour qu'il puisse se mettre
Dévotement contre ta poitrine.

Tu as blessé mon cœur, ma sœur, mon épouse.
