Täublein weiß

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG

Es flog ein Täublein weiße
vom Himmel herab
in engelischem Kleide
zu einer Jungfrau zart;
es grüßet sie so hübsch und säuberlich,
ihr Seel war hochgezieret,
gesegnet ward ihr Leib.
Kyrieleison.

Der Himmel ward erschlossen
durch Gottes Schlüssel klar,
Maria ist der Garten,
da er gewachsen war,
der Heilig Geist den Garten besser hat,
gar schön ist er gezieret
mit göttlicher Majestät.
Kyrieleison.

So hat der Ruf ein Ende
wohl hie zu dieser Stund,
so wolln wir Gott nur bitten
aus unsres Herzens Grund,
dass er uns allen wolle gnädig sein,
er woll uns auch behüten
vor der heißen Hölle Pein.
Kyrieleison.

La coloma blanca

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Una coloma blanca davallà
volant del cel
amb indument angèlic 
vers una delicada verge;
la va saludar tan gentilment i pulcra
que la seva ànima s’ornà a pler,
i beneït fou el seu ventre.
Kyrie eleison.

El cel s’obrí i s’aclarí
gràcies a la clau de Déu,
Maria és al jardí
on ella creixé,
l’Esperit Sant ha ornat 
ben bonic el jardí
amb divina majestat.
Kyrie eleison.

Així s’acabà l’aparició
allà en aquell moment,
i per això volem pregar Déu
del fons del nostre cor,
perquè ens vulgui ser clement
i ens preservi
del foc de l’infern.
Kyrie eleison.
