Rose of roses and flower of flowers,

And flower of happiness and pleasure,

And Lord for relieving all woes and cares; 
 Rose of roses and flower of flowers, 
Lady of ladies, Lord of lords. Rosa das rosas e Fror das frores, 
Dona das donas, Sennor das sennores.

Rosa de beldad' e de parecer 
e Fror d'alegria e de prazer, 
Dona en mui piadosa ser 
Sennor en toller coitas e doores. 
Rosa das rosas e Fror das frores, 
Dona das donas, Sennor das sennores.

Such a Mistress everybody should love, 
For she can ward away any evil 
And she can pardon any sinner 
To create a better savor in this world. 
 Rose of roses and flower of flowers, 
Lady of ladies, Lord of lords.

Atal Sennor dev' ome muit' amar, 
que de todo mal o pode guardar;

que faz no mundo per maos sabores. 
Rosa das rosas e Fror das frores, 
Dona das donas, Sennor das sennores.

We should love and serve her loyally, 
For she can guard us from falling; 
She makes us repent the errors 
That we have committed as sinners: 
 Rose of roses and flower of flowers 
Lady of ladies, Lord of lords.

Devemo-la muit' amar e servir, 
ca punna de nos guardar de falir;

que nos fazemos come pecadores. 
Rosa das rosas e Fror das frores, 
Dona das donas, Sennor das sennores.

This lady whom I acknowledge as my Master 
And whose troubadour I'd gladly be, 
If I could in any way possess her love, 
I'd give up all my other lovers. 
 Rose of roses and flower of flowers, 
Lady of ladies, Lord of lords.

Esta dona que tenno por Sennore de que quero seer trobador, 
se eu per ren poss' aver seu amor, 
dou ao demo os outros amores. 
Rosa das rosas e Fror das frores, 
Dona das donas, Sennor das sennores.
