Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Ad Temoriam hodie I bind to myself today
Potentiam praepolentem invoco Trinitatis The great power of an invocation to the Trinity
Allelulia Allelulia
Apud Temoriam hodie I bind to myself today
Virtutem Nativitatis Christi cum eia eius baptismi The power of the incarnation of Christ
Allelulia Allelulia
Apud Temoriam hodie I bind to myself today
Virtutem amoris Seraphim in obsequio angelorum The power of Seraphim's love and the obedience of the angels
Allelulia Allelulia
   
A hedge of trees surrounds me
The blackbird's lay sings to me
May the Lord shield me
Well do I write under the greenwood
 
   
Upon my lined booklet
The trilling birds chant to me
May the Lord shield me
Well do I write under the greenwood
 
   
In a gray mantle from the top of the bushes the cuckoo sings
