Invicti bellate
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ENG
Aria da capo -- Presto
Invicti bellate
Intrat diem squalida nox.
Recitativo
Fortes estote in bello
Nec difficilis est tiranni fuga
Vos caelestis invitat tubae clangor ad arma
Ecce adorata cruces vexilla
Summus omnipotens dal signa ductor.
Sub tanto duce certa vestra victoria
Certo triumph vestro et vestra Gloria.
Aria da capo -- Larghetto
Dux aeterne Jesu care
Si per te gaudet certare
Da vigorem cordi meo.
Et accensum (assensum) sacro ardore
Et defensum almo amore
Noceat hosti invicte reo.
Alleluia -- Allegro

Unconquered fighter
Language: English  after the Latin
Aria da capo -- Presto
Unconquered fighter
Enter the squalid night.
Recitativo
Be brave in war
It is hard to escape the tyrant
You invited the heavenly trumpets to sound "to arms!"
Behold adored crosses, banners, and standards
That guide us to the supreme Almighty.
Under the assurance of your victory
We will triumph for your Glory.
Aria da capo -- Larghetto
Dear Jesus, our eternal leader
If it will please you,
Reinvigorate my heart.
And the sacred flame was lit
And the soul was filled with love to defend us
From harm from our unconquered enemy.
Alleluia -- Allegro
