Sia laudato San Francesco

Laudario Fiorentino
(Canti anonimo del XIII secolo)

Sia laudato San Francesco,
qué che aparve crucifixo come Redemptore

A Cristo configurato,
de le piache fue signato
inperciò che avea portato
scripto in core lo suo amore.

Molti messi avea mandate
la divina Maiestate,
et le genti predicate
come dicon le Scripture.

Intra quali non fue trovato
nullo privilegiato,
d'arme nuove corredato,
cavaliere a tanto honore.

A La Verna, monte sancto,
stava 'l sancto con gran pianto;
lo qual pianto torno in canto
il seraphyno consolatore.

Quando fu da Dio mandato
San Francesco lo beato,
il mondo chi era intenebrato
recevette gran splendore.

Per divino spiramento
fugli dato intendimento
di salvare da perdimento
molti ch'eran peccatori.




Florentine Lauda to St. Francis
(Anonymous, 13 th century)

Let Saint Francis be praised,
the one who bore the marks
of crucifixion like the Redeemer.

Made to resemble Christ,
he was branded with His wounds,
because he had carried
the love for Him written in his heart.

The Divine Majesty
had sent many messengers,
and peoples were evangelized
as the Scriptures say.

Among them no other
privileged knight was found,
equipped with new arms
in such an honourable way.

On the holy mount of La Verna
the holy man was weeping copiously;
the comforting seraphim
turned that weeping into a song.

When blessed Saint Francis
was sent by God,
the world, that was in the darkness,
received great splendour.

By divine inspiration
he was given the aspiration
to save from perdition
many sinners.
