Original text and translations
Spanish text
Sacros deseos de amantes fervores las aras encienden para postrar en ofrenda gloriosa aplausos alegres.
El templo se ilustra de antorchas lucientes, el solio se ciñe de gracias perennes.
Las salvas festivas, los cultos heroicos, el orbe previene a el dueño elevado, que el incienzo ofrece, como a luz radiante, centro de los bienes, alto honor del mundo, gloria de las gentes, del mundo. El templo se ilustra de antorchas lucientes.
Sacros deseos de amantes fervores las aras encienden.
