Jenkins: Stabat Mater: Cantus lacrimosus Songtext

von Karl Jenkins

Stabat mater dolorosa
Juxta Crucem lacrimosa,
Dum pendebat Filius.
Cujus animam gementem,
Contristatam et dolentem
Pertransivit gladius.
O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta,
Mater Unigeniti!
Quae moerebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater, dum videbat
Nati poenas incliti

(At the Cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.
Through her heart, His sorrow sharing,
All His bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length the sword has passed.
O how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother, highly blest,
Of the sole-begotten One.
Christ above in torment hangs,
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying glorious Son.)
