Latin text
Versa est in luctum cithara mea,
et organum meum in vocem flentium.
Parce mihi Domine,
nihil enim sunt dies mei.
English translation
My harp is tuned for lamentation,
and my flute to the voice of those who weep.
Spare me, O Lord,
for my days are as nothing.
Portuguese translation
Minha harpa voltou-se ao luto
e minha flauta à voz dos que choram.
Apiedai-vos de mim, Senhor,
pois como nada são os meus dias.
