Italian text
Il pietoso Giesu pendendo in croce
a la dolente madre, che piangea,
così mesto dicea:
“Donna, che piangi la mia dura morte,
il tuo dolori molto più grave sento,
che l’aspro mio tormento.”
Ella gemendo fisse i lumi santi
nel figlio amato e disse: “O dolce vita,
tu muor’ io resto in vita?
Morir teco vorrei, teco esser voglio,
e viva, e morta, e con te, caro pegno,
pender anch’io sul legno. ”
English translation
Jesus in his compassion, as he hung on the cross,
sadly spoke to the suffering mother, as she wept:
Lady, weeping at my cruel death,
I feel your heartbreak far more keenly
than my own unspeakable torture.
She, moaning, fixed her holy gaze on her beloved son
and said: my heart’s desire,
must you die, while I remain alive?
I wish that I could die with you and we could be together,
both alive and dead, and with you, dear earnest of redemption,
that I too could hang on the cross.
