Original text and translations
Latin text
Flavescite, serenate. Fugate lacrimas animae beatae.
Expugnate, debellate languores, et dolores.
Ad fontem gratiae tormenta portare. Et Christi vulnera, vera caeli munera, O care delitiae, gustate, libate.
English translation
Rejoice, sing. Chase away the tears of the happy soul.
Expel, fight off faintness and sorrow.
Bear your torments to the fount of grace. And Christ’s wounds, gifts of heaven, o dear happiness! Taste them, worship them.
