Canta in prato, ride in monte

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG

Aria da capo - Allegro
 Canta in prato, ride in monte
 Philomela laeta in fonte,
 vox respondeat exultando.

 Et vox illa sit amoena
 vox laetitiae, nec tua poena
 gaudia turbet deplorando.

Recitative
 Selva [saeva] fulgescit nobis
 digna communi gaudio optata dies.
 Pater beate, gaude
 caelesti gloria tua,
 gaude sereno obsequio.
 Vos mortales, plaudite et exultate,
 et si plaudunt in coelo amoeni cori,
 gaudeat et omnis vivens
 et semper plaudendo sacro honori.

Aria da capo - Allegro
 Avenae rusticate,
 sinceri fervida
 amoris jubila
 docete nos.

 Vos gaudia dicite, [discite]
 timpana et organa,
 si agrestis fistula
 invitat vos.

Alleluia - Allegro

Sing in the meadow, smile on the mountain

Language: English after the Latin

Aria da capo - Allegro
 Sing in the meadow, smile on the mountain,
 Philomela, happy be the spring,
 May your voice resound with joy.

 And may that voice be pleasing,
 the voice of joy, and your punishment
 Not disturb rejoicing with weeping.

Recitative
 The chosen day shines on us,
 Worthy of common joy.
 Blessed father, rejoice
 at your heavenly glory,
 rejoice at meek obedience.
 You mortals, applaud and rejoice,
 and when pleasing choirs applaud in heaven,
 every living thing also rejoices
 And continually applauds his holy honor.

Aria da capo - Allegro
 Country pipes,
 teach us to rejoice
 with the genuine passion 
 of love.

 You learn to be joyful,
 drums and organs,
 when the rural flute
 invites you.

Alleluia - Allegro
