(CANCIONERO DE PALACIO)

Virgen bendita sin par
de quien toda virtud mana
vos sois digna de loar.

Vos sagrada emperadora
deshicisteis el engaño
y remediasteis el daño
de la gente pecadora.

De los ángeles Señora
vos querais tan gracia dar
que no podamos pecar
contra aquel que carne humana
de vos le plugo tomar.

De vos canta Salomón
toda y en toda hermosura
entre las espinas rosa
saliste en perfección.

A vos el alto varón
se humille en devoción
que sois bendita sin par
de quien toda virtud mana
vos sois digna de loar.




Blessed Virgin without equal,
from Whom all virtue comes,
You are worthy of praise.

You, oh Sacred Empress,
undid the error and remedied the harm
of the sinful people.

Of the Angels you are the Lady,
You so much grace wish to bestow
that we may not sin
against the One who human flesh
deigned to take.

Salomon sing about you
and on all your beaty
rose among thorns
came out in perfection.

To you, the Almighty show devotion.
That you are worthy of praise,
from whom all virtue comes,
You are worthy of praise.

@jwoodman Thank you for seeing. I have done some video including 2 diff.versions of the same song.

Right now, I have not in mind to do something like this, but that is unpredictable.

Thanks for a very illuminating comparison of the two versions - will you do more of these?
