Text and translations
![]() Aspice, Domine, quia facta est desolata civitas plena divitiis.
Plorans ploravit in nocte, et lacrimae eius in maxillis eius.
Mira, Señor, cómo ha quedado desolada la ciudad antes llena de riquezas. |
Behold, O Lord, how the city full of riches is become desolate.
Weeping, she has wept all night, And her tears are on her cheeks. |
