lyrics

Se del tuo corpo oggi la stampa orrenda
Miro, e penso al tormento empio ed atroce
che sofferto hai per me pendendo
in croce,
Perchè io dal tuo martir salute
prenda,
Com’è che il freddo cuor non si raccenda,
Che d’amor vano or viva fiamma coce?
Ma, lassa, quel che giova e quel che noce
Esser non può che ciec’alma comprenda.
Però Signor, che vedi quanto
errore
La mente ingombri e’l suo vedere appanni,
Alluma ormai le mie tenebre oscure,
Che se scorta sarò dal tuo splendore,
Spero, pentita de’ miei mal spesi anni,
A te ridurmi e in te poner mie
cure.

If today I look upon your body’s terrible image
and think about the wicked and cruel torment
that you have borne for me hanging
on the cross,
so that I may draw salvation from your
sufferings,
why is it that my cold heart is not rekindled,
while now it burns with vain love’s flame?
But, alas, a blind soul cannot understand
what helps and harms it.
But you, Lord, who see how encumbered
with error
my mind is, and how dim its vision,
shed light onto my dark shadows,
and if your brightness will guide me,
I hope, repentant of my ill-spent years,
to return unto you, and unto you deliver my
cares.
