Translation of the song lyrics Puccini: Vexilla Regis Prodeunt - Coro Sinfonico di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, Roberto de Thierry, Riccardo Chailly

Puccini: Vexilla Regis Prodeunt (original)

Vexilla Regis prodeunt;
Fulget Crucis mysterium
Quo carne carnis conditor
Suspensus est patibulo
Confixa clavis viscera
Tendens manus, vestigia
Redemptionis gratia
Hic immolata est hostia
Quo vulneratus insuper
Mucrone diro lanceae
Ut nos lavaret crimine
Manavit unda et sanguine
Impleta sunt quae concinit
David fideli carmine
Dicendo nationibus:
Regnavit a ligno Deus
Arbor decora et fulgida
Ornata Regis purpura
Electa digno stipite
Tam sancta membra tangere
Beata, cuius brachiis
Pretium pepndit saeculi:
Statera facta corporis
Praedam tulitqu tartari
Fundis aroma cortice
Vincis sapore nectare
Iucunda fructu fertili
Plaudis triumpho nobili
Salve, ara, salve, victima
De passionis gloria
Qua vita mortem pertulit
Et morte vitam reddidit
O Crux ave, spes unica
Hoc Passionis tempore!
Piis adauge gratiam
Reisque dele crimina
Te, fons salutis Trinitas
Collaudet omnis spiritus:
Quibus crucis victoriam
Largiris adde praemium

Puccini: Vexilla Regis Prodeunt (translation)

The King's banners proceed;
The mystery of the Cross shines
Who is the creator of the flesh of the flesh
Hanged on a gallows
The bowels are nailed to the nails
Stretching hands, steps
Redemption Grace
This victim is sacrificed
He was also wounded
The sword of a dire spear
To wash away the crime
water and blood
Filled with the things that sing in
David with a faithful poem
By saying to the nations
He reigned from the tree of God
The tree is beautiful and bright
Ornamented in purple
Picking a worthy club
Touch such holy limbs
Blessed is he in whose arms
The price of time has hung
The balance of the body
She took the booty of hell
Spice sling bark
You win the flavor of nectar
Pleasant fruit and fruitful
Applaud the triumph of the noble
Hail, altar, hello, victim
The depassion of glory
Which life endured death
And death restored life
Hail, oh cross, our only hope
This is the time of Passion!
Increase the grace of the godly
Wipe out criminals
You, the source of salvation
Let every spirit extol
Victory on the cross
Give and add reward
