Imperayritz de la ciutat ioyosa by Anonymous — Lyrics

Imperayritz de la ciudad ioyosa, de paradís ab tot gaug eternal, neta de crims, de virtuts habundosa, mayres de Dieu per obra divinal. Verges plasén ab fas angelical, axí com sotz a Dieu molt graciosa, plàcaus estar als fizels piadosa, preyan per lor al rey celestial. Rosa flagran de vera benenança, fons de mercè iamays no defallen. Palays d'onor on se fech l'aliança de Dieu e d'om per nostra salvamén. E fo ver Dieus e's hom perfetamén. Ses defallir en alcuna substança. E segons hom morí senes dubtança e com ver Dieus levech del monimén.

About Imperayritz de la ciutat ioyosa

This sacred motet, for two voices, uses a Catalan (or Occitan) text that addresses Mary with high praise. It calls her Empress of the joyous city of paradise, pure and virtuous Mother of God, and a gracious Virgin. The lyrics describe her as a fragrant rose, a fount of mercy, and a palace of honor where the alliance between God and humankind was made for our salvation. The text continues to reflect on the Incarnation, Christ's death and resurrection, before likening Mary to a flower and describing an angel appearing with a sharp sword, perhaps signifying divine judgment or a call to repentance.
