English translation:

The Unicorn is captured,
It's presented to the royal court
In the hunters' snare;
Creeping, it freed itself from the pole;
Because it's wounded, it heals itself
With the viper's venom.
Sing Alleluia
To the dying lamb;
Sing Alleluia,
Cry Alleluia
To the victorious Lion.
Life returns to the wounded Pelican
After miserable death
In its nest for the sins of the world.
The Phoenix' light is burnt out,
The ancient sins of the world
Are utterly consumed by flame.
Sing Alleluia…
The Hydra enters the crocodile,
Deprives it of its entrails, kills it,
And comes back alive.
Three days long
the Lion slept till the King
Awakened it with a roar.
Sing Alleluia…
