Texts and Translations

Latin text

Quis dabit oculis nostris fontem lacrymarum
Et plorabimus coram Domino?
Germania/Britannia, quid ploras?
Musica, cur siles?
Austria/Francia, cur inducta veste reproba
moerore consumeris?

Heu, nobis Domine, Maximilianus/Anna!
Gaudium cordis nostri
Conversus est in luctum
cecidit corona capitis nostri.

Ergo ululate pueri, plorate sacerdotes,
lugite cantores, plangite nobiles et dicite:
Maximilianus/Anna requiescat in pace.
