Verbum caro factum est de virgine Maria. In hoc anni circulo vita datur saeculo: nato nobis parvulo de virgine Maria. Verbum caro factum est de virgine Maria. O pastores currite gregem vestrum sinite Deum vestrum colite cum Virgine Maria. Verbum caro factum est de virgine Maria. O Giesù dulcissime vita cibus animae nobis dona requiem cum Virgine Maria. Verbum caro factum est de virgine Maria. Illi laus et gloria, Deus et victoria qui manet in saecula cum Virgine Maria. The Word was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. In this year's circle life is given to the world, to us a little child of the Virgin Mary. The Word was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. O shepherds, let your flock run! Worship your God with the Virgin Mary. The Word was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. O Jesus, sweetest life, the food of the soul, grant us rest with the Virgin Mary. The Word was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. To him praise and glory, God and victory who abides forever with the Virgin Mary.

Niño que hoy nacido has segun todos dicen de amor moriras. Mui claro tuser des cubre y tu divino semblante, que eres ya perfetto amante aunque’l ser niño lo incubre. Dicen que tanto amaras que herido de amor moriras. Quando el fuego esta encendido dentro del pecho y que arde Es impossible que tarde de arder tambien el vestido. Dicen que tanto amaras Que herido de amor moriras. Child, that today is born, everyone says you will die of love. Very clearly your being shows, and your divine countenance, that you are already a perfect lover, although the child's body disguises it. They say that you will love so much, that wounded by love you will die. When the fire is lit inside the breast and it burns, it is impossible that it will be long before it burns the garment too. They say that you will love so much, that you will die wounded by love.
