Imperayritz De La Ciutat Joyosa
Angelo Branduardi
Empress of the Joyful City
Empress of the joyful city
Of paradise with eternal joy
Free from crimes, abundant in virtues
Mothers of God by divine work
Virgins pleasing in angelic deeds
Just as under God very gracious
Pleasing to be merciful to the faithful
Praying for them to the celestial King
Fragrant rose of true goodness
Source of mercy never failing
Palace of honor where the alliance is made
Between God and man for our salvation
And she was truly God and man perfectly
Without failing in any substance
And as man dies without doubt
And as truly God rises from the monument
Flower of flowers sweet, merciful and pious
The angel of God we see all adorned
And so that God commands us to rise
Where he is ready with the sharp sword
It pleases you that it be commanded
To wield the sword and that it not be delayed
May all failure be in the present day
Grant us joy and peace and health
