In Rama sonat gemitus
plorante Rachel Anglie:
Herodis namque genitus
dat ipsam ignominie.
En eius primogenitus
et Joseph Cantuarie
Exulat (? - or 'si sit') fisto venditus
Egiptum colit Gallie.
Portuguese translation
Em Ramá soa o lamento
Da Raquel inglesa
Pois o filho de Herodes
É causa de sua ignomínia
Eis seu filho primogênito
E José de Cantuária
Exilado ah! Vendido cruelmente
Habita o Egito da Gália.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Note: the translation given at the foot of the score is not very accurate. According to the All Music Guide, this text comments on the exile of Thomas à Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, from England to France in 1164.
A lamentation is heard in Rama:
England's Rachel weeps.
For one begotten by Herod treats her with ignominy.
Her firstborn - Joseph of Canterbury -
is exiled as if sold, and lives in the Egypt of France.
