Translation

Dourada é a sua veste fulgente; de metal são os seus pilares — ele arde no céu como um estábulo de cavalos velozes. Postos num campo auspicioso, firmados no tilvila (base sólida), alcancemos o deleite melífluo d’Aquele que está estabelecido no assento — provando a doçura da verdade na consciência fundada.
