"Anyway, so I was just fiddling about with my guitar and came up with a few chords. I was going for a kind of 'medieval' folk Christmas song and then the lyrics came to me. Not bad, eh?"
Gaudete, Gaudete! Christus et natus Ex maria virgine, Gaudete! | Rejoice, Rejoice! Christ is born Of the virgin Mary, Rejoice! | |
Tempus ad est gratiae, Hoc quod optabamus; Carmina laetitiae, Devote redamus. | It is now the time of grace That we have desired; Let us sing songs of joy, Let us give devotion. | |
Deus homo factus est, Natura mirante; Mundus renovatus est A Christo regnante. | God was made man, And nature marvels; The world was renewed By Christ who is King. | |
Ezechiellis porta Clausa pertransitur; Unde lux est orta Salus invenitur. | The closed gate of Ezechiel Has been passed through; From where the light rises Salvation is found. | |
Ergo nostra cantio, Psallat iam in lustro; Benedicat Domino: Salus Regi nostro. | Therefore let our assembly now sing, Sing the Psalms to purify us; Let it praise the Lord: Greetings to our King. |
