Sibylla Cimmeria

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

In teneris annis facie insignis honore
Militiae aeternae regem sacra virgo cibabit
Lacte suo, per quem gaudebunt pectore summo Omnia,
Et Eoo lucebit sydus ab orbe Mirificum.
Sua dona magi cum laude ferentes
Obiicient puero myrrham, aurum, thura sabaea.

Sibylle cimmérienne

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Dans ses tendres années, d'une beauté insigne, honorée
Par l'armée éternelle, une vierge sainte nourrira un roi
De son lait ; par lui de grand cœur ils se réjouiront
Tous et l'étoile du Matin brillera dans un ciel magnifique,
Les Mages portant leurs dons avec respect
Présenteront à l'enfant la myrrhe, l'or et l'encens de l'Arabie.
