other translations - Monteverdi

Venite, venite sitientes
ad aquas Domini, properate
emite sine argento mel et lac.
Venite, bibite vinum quod misuit vobis
ineffabilem sapientiam.
Comedite, bibite amici divinum mel et lac.
Quia meliora sunt ubera Dei
vino consolationis mundi. Venite, venite.

‍

O come, O come to the waters
all you who thirst for the Lord,
Make haste to obtain this milk and honey
which no silver can buy.
Come, let us drink the wine
which imparts to you ineffable wisdom.
Eat., drink, friend, of this divine honey and milk.
Because God’s love is better than wine
which consoles the world. Come, come.
