Paroles

Soprano

Long live Victoria! Domina præclara! Hark! the world is full of thy praise, England’s Queen of many days; Who knowing how to rule the free, Hast giv’n a crown to monarchy. Long live Vic– toria! O felix anima! Honour, Truth and growing Peace Follow Britannia’s wide in– crease, And Nature yield her strength unknown To the wisdom born be neath thy Throne. In wisdom and love firm is thy fame, firm is thy fame, firm is thy fame, in wisdom and love firm is thy fame. Enemies bow to honour thy name, Enemies bow to honour thy name, Long live Victoria! In wisdom and love firm is thy fame, Enemies bow to honour thy name, to honour thy name. The world shallnever tire to tell Praise, praise of the Queen, Praise, praise of the Queen who reignèd well, The world shall never tire to tell Praise! Praise! Praise of the Queen who reignèd well. Long live Victoria! Long live Victoria! O felix anima! Domina præ– clara! Amore semper coronabere Regina cara! Regina cara!
