Translations Ave Regina Caelorum Hail, queen of heaven, Hail, Lady of the Angels.

Hail, root, hail, gate, from whom unto the world, a light has arisen: Rejoice, glorious Virgin, lovely beyond all others, Farewell most beautiful, And pray for us to Christ.

I himmelen In heaven’s hall where God the Lord resides, what utter joy, what pleasure there, where happiness abides. And here are we, now face to face where God eternal fills the space, the Lord of Hosts.

In heaven’s hall, what crystal purity not even the sun in clarity can shine as bright as he who is the sun that never sets. He never even darkened gets; he is the Lord of Hosts.

In heaven’s hall, the blessed gather there, and there the saints and angels wear a sheen and haloed hair! My soul, your soul shall ever be enriched for all eternity by God, the Lord of Hosts.

Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart exults in the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow shelter from the storm. I find a place near your altar, o Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. The Lord loves mercy and truth, and to those who walk blameless, he gives grace and splendor. O how lovely is thy dwelling place.

Draumalandið O, let me lead you yonder to the high moors of that land where endless summer reigns.

The air with flowers fragrant and filled with birdsong sweet. There only I find delight, there only I belong. With steadfast bands it binds me, for there is all I cherish. There is the land of my dreams.

Convidando está la noche The night is an invitation, here is various music, to the new-born baby, let us sing tender songs of praise. Ah, how I burn, divine Master! In the beauty of your little eyes! Ah, how a hundred bright stars pour down, rays of glory! Rays of fire!
