Ut Phoebi radiis
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ut Phoebi radiis soror obvia sidera luna;
Ut regis Salomon sapientis nomine cunctos;
Ut remi ponthum quaerentum velleris aurum;
Ut remi faber instar habens super aera pennas;
Ut remi fas solvaces traducere merces;
Ut remi fas sola Petri currere prora;
Sic super omne quod est regnas, o Virgo Maria.

Latius in numerum canit id quoque caelica turba
Lasso lege ferens eterna munera mundo:
La sol fa ta mina clara praelustris in umbra,
La sol fa mi ta na de Matre recentior ortus
La sol fa mi re ta quidem na non violata,
La sol fa mi re ut rore ta na Gedeon quo.
Rex, o Christe Jesu, nostri Deus, alte memento.

After reading an article by Virginia Woods Callahan in the 1971 Josquin symposium report in which she suggested the 'nonsense' in pars 2 is actually reversed Latin with the 'La' dropping into the following line, David Wyatt suggests the following change to lines 3-6 of the second stanza (with added syllables so that it is translatable):
Animata flos clara praelustris in umbra,
A lana (ul)tima flos de Matre recentior ortus
A lana te rima flos quidem non violata,
A lana te (p)rima flos ut rore Gedeon quo

Ut Phoebi radiis
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
Ut - Comme par ses rayons, la sœur de Phébus, la lune règne sur les étoiles,
Ut - ré - comme Salomon règne sur les rois de son nom de sage,
Ut - ré - mi - comme règnent sur la mer les rames dans la quête de l'or de la Toison
Ut - ré - mi - fa - comme celui qui avec des ailes au lieu de rames règne sur les airs,1
Ut - ré - mi - fa - sol - comme la rame est destinée à transporter les biens du commerce,
Ut - ré - mi - fa - sol - la - comme la rame de Pierre est destinée à faire avancer la navire délaissé,
Ainsi , ô Vierge Marie, tu règnes sur tout ce qui est.

La - Partout il est célébré en nombre par la troupe céleste,
La - sol - lui qui porte des présents selon la loi éternelle au monde harassé,
La - sol - fa - pierre précieuse qui brille dans le noir,
La - sol - fa - mi - né récemment d'une mère
La - sol - fa - mi - ré - réellement non flétrie,
La - sol - fa - mi - ré - ut - comme Gédéon2 par la rosée,
Ainsi Roi, ô Jésus Christ, notre Dieu, souviens-toi de nous.
