Original text and translations
Latin text Plaudite tympana, clangite classica, Fides accinite, Voces applaudite, Choro et jubilo, Pastori maximo, Applaude patria Rupertum celebra.
Felix dies ter amœna, Dies voluptatem plena, Qua Rupertum celebramus, Qua patronum honoramus, Dies felicissima.
O læta gaude patria, O læta plaude gens, Ruperti super sidera Triumphat alta mens, In angelorum millibus Beatorum plausibus Triumphat alta mens.
Vive Salisburgum gaude, magno patri ter applaude, in tympanis et vocibus, in parbitis et plausibus, Rupertum celebra, pastori jubila.
