Rex noster promptus est
suscipere sanguinem Innocentum.
Unde angeli concinunt et in laudibus sonant,
sed nubes super eundem sanguinem plangunt.
Tyrannus autem in gravi somno mortis
propter malitiam suam suffocatus est.

Sed nubes super eundem sanguinem plangunt.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

Sed nubes super eundem sanguinem plangunt.

Our King stands ready
to accept the life-blood of the Innocents.
Let angels sing and sound praises
while the clouds grieve over that same blood.

However the Tyrant is suffocated
in heavy sleep by his own malice.

And the clouds grieve over that same blood.

Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

As the clouds grieve over that same blood.
