Dulcissima [English translation]

“Hail, most beautiful, precious gem!”

Sweetest, Sweetest, Sweetest, Sweetest

I saw a blooming flower, I saw a shining flower,

I saw a rose, finer than all the Midianites,

I saw a gorgeous star, the clearest of all

For which I was led to falling in love

Sweetest, Sweetest

“Hail, most beautiful, precious gem!”

What more? Around that maiden’s neck I threw my arms,

I give her a thousand kisses, a thousand I got back,

And very often I said, declaring:

“Sure, that’s definitely what I desired so much!”

Sweetest, Sweetest

“Hail, most beautiful, precious gem!”

Sweetest, Sweetest, Sweetest, Sweetest, Sweetest
