Original text and translations

Latin text In Rama sonat gemitus plorante Rachel Anglie: Herodis namque genitus dat ipsam ignominie. En eius primogenitus et Joseph Cantuarie Exulat (? - or 'si sit') fisto venditus Egiptum colit Gallie.

Portuguese translation Em Ramá soa o lamento Da Raquel inglesa Pois o filho de Herodes É causa de sua ignomínia Eis seu filho primogênito E José de Cantuária Exilado ah! Vendido cruelmente

English translation A lamentation is heard in Rama: England's Rachel weeps. For one begotten by Herod treats her with ignominy. Her firstborn - Joseph of Canterbury - is exiled as if sold, and lives in the Egypt of France. Translation by Mick Swithinbank Note: the translation given at the foot of the score is not very accurate. According to the All Music Guide, this text comments on the exile of Thomas à Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, from England to France in 1164.
