Thread Name: Lyr Add: In dulci jubilo
Subject: Lyr Add: In dulci jubilo (Monolingual: Latin)
Although "In dulci jubilo" appears to have been macaronic (Latin-German, to be precise) at its creation, and although there exist many macaronic versions of it that substitute another language for the German while retaining the Latin, there are also many monolingual versions. Here is the monolingual Latin version from ingeb.org:
- In dulci iubilo
cantate domino
nostri cordis gaudium
in praesaepio
et fulget ut lux solis
in matris gremio
|: ergo merito :|
iubilizat cor omne
mentis tripudio
- O Jesu parvule
langueo post te
laetum fac cor meum
tu puer optime
et tuum fer auxilium
tu puer inclite
|: trahe me post te :|
ad regnum patris tui
tu princeps gloriae
- Ubi sunt gaudia
plena gloria
ubi canunt angeli
di nova cantica
nam sonat vox laetitiae
in regis curia
|: eia qualia :|
laetam mentem faciat
Christi praesentia
- Maria nostra spes
da, virgo nobilis,
ne nos repellat fragiles
tua progenies :|
nostra dele peccamina
laudanda species
|: vitam nobis des :|
et nostra sit hereditas
aeterna requies
I'm not sure how the last two lines of each verse are handled, coming as they do after what in the tune as I know it is the end.
