Flores Apparuerunt – Catholic Gregorian Chant Hymns
This hymn is taken in its parts from the Song of Songs of Solomon. The painting, which I really love, is Joseph teaching the child Jesus carpentry. It is called “Childhood of Christ” by Gerard van Honthorst. The Latin lyrics and rough English translation follow:
Flores apparuerunt in terra nostra, Tempus putationis advenit; Vox turturis audita est in terra nostra.
Surge, amica mea, speciosa mea, et veni: columba mea, in foraminibus petræ, in caverna maceriæ.
The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.
Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come: my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall.
Hail Mary, Богородице дѣво – Byzantine Chant
This is the angelic salutation to the Virgin Mary, Theotokos, in Slavonic. The Slavonic lyrics with the phonetic and English follow:
Богородице дѣво, радѹйсѧ, Благодатнаѧ Марїе, Господь съ тобою:
благословена Ты въ женахъ, и благословенъ плодъ чрева Твоегω;
якω Спаса родила еси дѹшъ нашихъ.
Bogoroditse Djevo, raduisya, Blagodatnaya Marie, Gospod s’ toboyu:
Blagoslovyena tyh v’ zhenakh, Y blagoslovyen plod chreva Tvoyego, yako Spasa rodila yesi dush nashikh.
Theotokos Virgin, rejoice, Mary full of grace, The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, for thou hast borne the Saviour of our souls.
