O qui coeli terraeque serenitas

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FRE GER

Aria da capo - Allegretto
 O qui coeli terraeque serenitas
 et fons lucis et arbiter es,

 Unde regis aeterna tua sidera
 mitis considera
 nostra vota, clamores et spes.

Recitativo
 Fac ut sordescat tellus
 dum respicimus coelum;
 fac ut bona superna
 constanter diligamus
 et sperantes aeterna
 quidquid caducum 
 est odio habeamus.

Aria da capo - Largo
 Rosa quae moritur,
 unda quae labitur,
 mundi delicias
 docent fugaces.

 Vix fronte amabili
 mulcent cum labili
 pede praetervolant
 larvae fallaces.

Alleluia - Allegro

Was ist die Stille des Himmels und der Erde

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin

Aria da capo - Allegretto
 Was ist die Stille des Himmels und der Erde
 Die Quelle des Lichts und der Richter.

 Vom Ursprung der ewigen Sterne
 blicke gütig herab
 Auf unsere Gebete, Rufe und Hoffnungen.

Recitativo
 Mach, daß uns die Erde verorben scheine,
 wenn wir aufblicken zum Himmel;
 Mach, daß wir himmlische Reichtümer
 stets zu schätzen wissen
 und uns, hoffend auf ewige Werte,
 alles Vergängliche
 verhasst sei.

Aria da capo - Largo
 Die Rose, die dahinwelkt,
 das Wasser, das dahinfließt,
 solchermaßen vergänglich
 Sing die Wonnen der Welt.

 Mit ihrem lieblichen Schein
 ergötzen uns kaum
 ehe sie huschen vorbei,
 Die trügerischen Gespenster.

Alleluia - Allegro
