{{Translation|English| | |||
Let us celebrate in joyous song | |||
While you, Cypris, | |||
Proudly rejoice in your prestige. | |||
Rejoice, too, that a lofty triumph | |||
Is prepared in your honor, | |||
Which today will make you | |||
Shine among us with even brighter glory. | |||
Beauty is a ray | |||
Of celestial light, | |||
That like the sun in May | |||
Brings gentle warmth: | |||
Thus in our hearts | |||
Are born the flowers of love. | |||
He who does not glitter with the splendor of that light | |||
In vain presumes to call himself happy, | |||
For precious stones and gold are but an ignoble treasure, | |||
And value declines in the face of beauty. | |||
Even mighty Hercules fell, | |||
Vanquished by a pair of beauteous eyes | |||
Though he had dragged the dog | |||
In chains from the gates of Tartarus. | |||
So too does the God of weapons, | |||
Of rage and of fury know beauty's power, | |||
When the Goddess of love | |||
Orders him to disarm. | |||
Then, changing his manner, | |||
Calm and humble, | |||
Gazing on her fair face, | |||
Heedless of his sword, he is welcomed into her arms. | |||
Therefore, for her who has obtained | |||
The prize and the glory of beauty, | |||
Let these proud, high-born souls | |||
Join in our songs | |||
And lead through these valleys, | |||
To do her honor, these loving dances. | |||
