|---|---|---|
| A luna, cara cantica | My moon, my beloved song | 我的月亮呀，我亲爱的歌 |
| ne me in atra dedas | Abandon me not in this dark night | 在这险恶的夜，请别将我抛弃 |
| Aves, ex urbe aurea | My little doves, bring from that golden city | 我的小鸽子呀，请你从那金色的大城 |
| ferte indicia mea | The song of my homeland | 为我捎来故乡的歌 |
| Aves, ferte cantam cara | My little doves, bring me a beloved song | 我的小鸽子呀，请捎来故乡的音讯 |
| ut lugeam et fata mala | So that we may mourn her wicked fate | 好叫我和你一同为她的苦难而叹息 |
| Num in immundorum terra | Please tell me, in that land tainted by evil | 请告诉我，在那被邪秽玷染的土地 |
| Clavus ille adhuc claudit pia[Note 1] | Are my brothers and sisters still weeping for their destiny? | 我的兄弟姐妹是否仍在为命运饮泣 |
| Quando tandem carebimus tanta miseria | When shall the misery pass us by, and when shall we know joy again? | 苦厄的日子何时离去，幸福要何时到访？ |
| Quom patria vastata nunc iacet sub urticis | Why does our devastated homeland now lie buried under nettles? | 既然沦毁的故土，已然堙作荒草的墓场？ |
| Ubi es, benigna domina | O Moon, benevolent mistress, where are you? | 月呀，仁善的女主人，你在何方？ |
| cur non mittis lucem almam tuam | Why do you not cast your gentle radiance upon the world? | 为何不向世间映下你柔和的辉芒？ |
| Ecce, terra infelix atra | Look at this lightless, pitiable land | 看呀，这片不幸的大地凄暗无光 |
| Veritas contra falsa nequit | Truth is powerless against the venom of shadowy lies | 真理无力与漆黑恶毒的谎言相抗 |
| Luna domina, quo adduces | O Moon, o mistress, where are you leading us? | 月的女主人呀，你要引我们往何方？ |
| Pergemus quocumque adduces | We will follow your light wherever you go | 无论何方，我们都愿追随你的柔光 |
| Potius nox tegat lumina | We would rather let the frigid night of death blind our eyes | 我们宁愿让死荫的寒夜将双目遮挡 |
| Quam in falsa luce esse | Than to sing in disgrace for a false radiance | 也不愿在恥辱中为虚假的光明歌唱 |
| Carmen triste nos non canimus | We shall not sing songs of lament | 哀怨的歌儿我们不唱 |
| Etsi flentes pro nostrorum malo | Even though our hearts be stung with sorrow | 纵然会为苦难而心伤 |
| Sed non lacrima tollit dura | But what tears can wash away calamity | 可泪水哪能洗尽灾殃 |
| Patria somno non potest reddi | And what mournful dreams can bring back our homeland? | 悲梦又哪能唤回故乡 |
| Illa vincta fuit pressa | That golden city was devoured by flames | 那金色的大城被焚火噬戮 |
| Tecta aurea voravit flamma | She was once bound and humiliated | 她曾被捆缚，她曾被折辱 |
| Sed renascetur rursum | But she will one day rise from the ashes | 但她终将再度从灰中复苏 |
| redibit nos larem ducet spe | And with hope, lead her people back home | 以希望引领众生回归故土 |
| (Cur) aerumnosae? | Why do you mourn? | 为何心伤哀恸？ |
| (Cui) aerumnosae? | For whom do you mourn? | 为谁心伤哀恸？ |
| Cur lacrimosae? | Why do you weep? | 为何泪如泉涌？ |
| Cui lacrimosae? | For whom do you weep? | 为谁泪如泉涌？ |
| Luna, claras terras lustra
(Assurge, o luna, etsi tantum manent dura) |
O new moon, illuminate this land once more
(Awaken, awaken, new moon, even if all that remains is torment) |
新月呀，请再度将这片大地照亮
(醒来吧，醒来吧，新月呀，即便此地唯余苦厄) |
| Sicut aves per umbras vola
(Corda nostra premunt obscura, pudorque manet) |
Like white doves soaring through the night
(Even if shame and agony gnaw at our hearts through day and night) |
如同洁白的鸽子在夜中振翼翱翔
(即便耻辱与痛楚依然日夜中煎熬着我们的心儿) |
| Et unda vasta foeda purga
(Sed luna ascendet, nec corda peribunt una) |
Like an azure sea that washes away all evil
(But the moon will rise again, and we and our hearts will not be silent) |
如同蔚蓝的海洋将一切邪秽涤荡
(但月亮终将再度升起，心不会与我们一同沉寂) |
| Pro turba fida spem crastinam serva
(Audies fremitus undae, postea venient gaudia) |
For those who believe in you and hope for tomorrow
(You will hear the roar of the tides, then laughter and cheer in its wake) |
为信仰你的人，也为明天的希望
(你将聆见潮汐的喧吼，随后才会有欢声和笑语) |
| A luna nova, surgat luna pura casta | We beseech you, rise, new moon, o new moon, pure and unblemished | 愿你升起，新月呀，纯洁无垢的新月呀 |
| Fugio aerumnam, tecum nulla fleta | With you, I cast off suffering, and for all living things, wipe away their tears | 我与你一同摆脱苦难，为众生拭去泪水 |
| Sub luna rursus fiet clara terra | May the moonlit world know light once more | 月下的世界终将再度明朗 |
