Tu mi guardi dalla Croce
Questa sera mio Signor,
Ed intanto la Tua voce
Mi sussurra: "Dammi il cuor!"

Questo cuore sempre ingrato
Oh, comprenda il tuo dolor,
E dal sonno del peccato
Lo risvegli, alfin, l'Amor!

Madre afflitta, tristi giorni
Ho trascorso nell'error;
Madre buona, fa' ch'io torni
Lacrimando, al Salvator!

You are watching me
from the Cross, my Lord!
While Your voice whispers
"Give me your heart!"

May this always ungrateful heart
understand Your pain,
and the Love at last may wake it
from the sleep of the sin!

Sorrowful Mother, sad days
I have endured in my mistake;
Good Mother, make me return
crying to the Saviour!
