English translation:-
Rejoice, shout,
O ye blessed souls,
Singing sweet hymns ;
Responding to your song
The skies sing psalms with me.
The friendly daylight shines,
Both clouds and storms have now fled ;
For the righteous and unexpected calm has come.
Everywhere dark night reigns ;
Rise up at last in gladness,
Ye that were afraid till now,
And joyfully present to the happy dawn
handfuls of lilies.
Thou crown of virgins,
Give us peace,
Thou, ready to give comfort
Wherever a heart sighs.
ALLELUJAH ! ALLELUJAH !...
