Leise ... hör' ich dich singen, Sancta Maria...
"Mein Mund ist wund und weh, ich habe ihn geküßt.
Mein Leib ist krank und kalt, ich habe ihn gewärmt.
Mein Herz ist hohl und tot, ich habe ihn geliebt"...
Leise, wie im Traume hör' ich dich singen, Sancta Maria...

I hear you singing quietly ... , Holy Mary . . .
"My lips are sore and aching, I kissed him.
My body is sick and cold, I warmed him.
My heart is hollow and dead, I loved him" . . .
Quietly in a dream I hear you singing, Holy Mary . . .
