Der Tag des Weltgerichts

(Sung text for setting by C. Bach)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ITA

Wenn der Erde Gründe beben,
und in Totengrüften Leben
und im Staube Jugendstärke wallt,
wenn des Auferweckers Stimme schallt:
Gott! erbarm dich unser!

 ... 

Wenn mit Zittern und Entzücken
alle Völker nach dir blicken
und dein flammend Richterangesicht
Fluch und Lohn in ihre Seele spricht:
Gott! erbarm dich unser!

Wenn auch ich dann vor dir stehe,
und mein Aug' zu deiner Höhe
bebend nur emporzuschauen wagt,
wenn in mir die ganze Menschheit zagt:
Gott! erbarm dich unser!

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Quando ribollirà la terra di terremoti
e fremeranno la vita nelle cripte dei morti 
e nella polvere le forze primordiali
quando il suono del giudizio risuonerà:
Dio! Abbi pietà di noi!
