Lyrics of O Virga ac Diadema - Mirabilis, Хильдегарда Бингенская

O Virga ac Diadema (original)

O virga ac diadema
Purpure regis que es
In clausura tua
Sicut lorica:
Tu frondens floruisti
In alia vicissitudine
Quam Adam omne genus
Humanum produceret
Ave, ave, de tuo ventre
Alia vita processit
Quam Adam filios suos
Denudaverat
O flos, tu non germinasti
De rore nec de guttis pluvie
Nec aer desuper te volavit sed divina
Claritas in nobilissima virga te produxit
O virga, floriditatem tuam
Deus in prima dei
Creature sue previderat
Et de Verbo suo
Auream materiam
O laudabilis Virgo, fecit

(translation)

O rod and diadem
You are a purple king
In your closing
Like the lorica:
You have blossomed
In another turn
All kinds of Adam
It would produce a human
Hail, hail, from thy womb
Another life went on
As Adam his children
He had undressed
O flower, you have not sprouted
Of the dew, nor of the drops of rain
Nor did the air fly above you, but divine
Clarity has produced you in the noblest rod
O rod, thy floweriness
God in the first place
He had foreseen his creation
And about his Word
Golden material
O praiseworthy Virgin, he did
