TRANSCRIPTION
¡Madre de Dolores
madre de tormentos,
ay, triste madre,
qué sentimiento!
Vuestro Hijo hermoso,
vuestro lucero,
sudando sangre,
está en el huerto.
Mortales ansias
de mi remedio
hacen que sude
licor tan bello.
Sus escogidos,
en tanto aprieto,
lo dejan solo,
dándose al sueño.
Ya llega Judas,
traidor perverso,
con los sayones
para prenderlo.
Cadenas duras,
cordeles recios,
contra Dios santo,
tal sacrilegio.
English Translation
Mother of Sorrows
mother of torments,
oh, sad mother,
what emotion!
Your beautiful Son,
your star,
sweating blood,
he is in the garden.
Mortal anxiety
for my relieve
make him sweat
such a divine liquor.
His chosen ones,
in such a bind,
leave him alone
given to sleep.
Now Judas arrives,
perverse traitor,
with the centurions
to arrest him.
Hardest chains,
strongest ropes,
against holy God,
such sacrilege.
