Original text and translations

Italian text

Surgite populi,
Clangite buccina super montes,
Clamate chorosque ducite
clamate et vociferamini
In tympanis laetitiae,
Alleluia.
Annunciate et auditum facite,
loquimini et iubilate
Quia hodie
Surrexit pastor bonus,
Alleluia.

German translation

Erhebt euch, ihr Völker,
lasst erklingen Trompeten auf den Bergen,
ruft aus und führt Tänze auf,
ruft aus und ruft laut
freudig mit Pauken,
Alleluia.
verkündet und lasst hören,
erzählt und jubiliert,
denn heute
ist erstanden der gute Hirte,
Alleluia.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation

Rise, peoples,
sound the trumpets on the mountains,
shout and perform dances,
shout and cry
joyfully with timbals,
alleluia,
announce and let hear,
tell and jubilate,
for today
the good shepherd has risen.
alleluia.
