Latin text
- Dum complerentur dies Pentecostes,
- erant omnes pariter dicentes, alleluia,
- et subito factus est sonus de coelo, alleluia,
- tamquam spiritus vehementis,
- et replevit totam domum, alleluia.
English translation
- Now when the day of Pentecost had come,
- they were gathered all together, saying: alleluia.
- And suddenly they heard a great sound from heaven, alleluia,
- like a hurricane in its fury,
- which encompassed all the dwelling, alleluia.
