Translation of the song lyrics Gaudete - Erasure

Gaudete (original)

Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Tempus ad est gratiae hoc quod optabamus
Carmina laetitiae devote redamus
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Deus homo factus est natura mirante
Mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Ezekelis porta clausa per transitor
Unde lux est orta salus invenitor
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Ergo nostra contio psallat jam in lustro
Benedicat domino salus regi nostro
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete
Gaudete, gaudete Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine gaudete

Gaudete (translation)

Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
The hour of grace is here at last, our longing’s silent ember,
Let us pour forth songs of joy, as incense on an altar rises.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
God shaped his form as man, to nature’s trembling wonder,
The world, a candle newly dipped, gleams under Christ’s dominion.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
Ezekiel’s gate, sealed with thunder, passed in mystery,
From that shut door, a river of light unfurls, salvation’s architect revealed.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
So let our gathered voices ring as bells across the twilight,
And may the Lord’s breath crown the king in this midwinter hour.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice: the frost-lit Christ is born,
From Mary’s dawn, untouched by earthly sorrow—rejoice.
