Contrafactum Stabat Virgo

Latin.png Latin text

Stabat virgo Maria mestissimo dolore
languens ad crucem et flebat amare.
Et edidit ex ore tales voces:
"Quis te confixit in hoc duro ligno?
Quis mihi rapit vitam?
Fili mi, Iesu Christe,
et liquefacta languet
et solvitur in lachrymas amoris
anima mea dolens et langueo,
et morior dolore!

English.png English translation

Stood the Virgin Mary in saddest pain
languishing by the cross, and cried bitterly.
Thus proffered her mouth these words:
"Who nailed you to such cruel wood?
Who takes my life away from me?
My son, Jesus Christ:
languishes, weary,
and melts away in tears of love
my pained soul, and I grow weak,
and, of this pain, I die !"

Translation by Campelli
