Latin text Pueri concinite Nato regi psallite Pia voce dicite: Apparuit quem genuit Maria. Sunt impleta quae praedixit Gabriel. Eia, Eia, virgo Deum genuit Quod divina voluit clementia. Hodie apparuit Apparuit in Israel Ex Maria virgine natus est Rex! Alleluia.

English translation Sing together, children, sing songs to the newborn King; in pious tones, say: He who was born of Mary appears. Now we see fulfilled the word of Gabriel: Eya, eya! The Virgin has given birth to God, As the divine mercy willed. Today appears, Appears in Israel. To the Virgin Mary is born the King! Alleluya.
