Original texts and translations

Latin.png Latin text TRIPLUM
Sophia nasci fertur
singula cuidam
obtulere mistica
fruencia
in laude pariter
Caspar mirram donavit,
thus Melchior comparavit,
Balthasar aurum
tria munialia voluntavit
ovantes cuius gracia
tres magi divinum
adoravere
per Mariam virginem.

DUPLUM
O quam pulchra racio
pastores mox videbant
que de celi palacio signa
apparebant
per Mariam virginem.

TENOR
Magi videntes stellam
dixerunt ad invicem:
'Hoc signum magni regis est
eamus et inquiramus eum
et offeramus ei munera.'

English.png English translation TRIPLUM
(It is said that) wisdom is born
unto each singular person
to offer mystic
blessings
in equal parts:
Caspar brought myrrh,
Melchior gave frankincense,
Balthasar chose gold
as the third kingly gift.
Joyously, in His grace,
the three magi
adored the holy child,
thanks to Virgin Mary.

DUPLUM
Oh, what a beautiful reason
the shepherds saw,
whose signs in heaven
appeared,
thanks to Virgin Mary.

TENOR
The magi, having seen the star,
said, each in turn:
"This is the sign of a great king!"
"Let us go and seek him out!"
"And offer gifts to him!"
