Piangete egri mortali
 (Sung text for setting by A. Willaert)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Pianget'egri mortali
Piangete I aspra morte del Signore
Se spirto di pieta vi pong'il core
Volgete gl'occhi' in qua c'hoggi dimostra
Non quella form'hoime non quel colore
Che finge fors'i sens'in mente vostra
Vedet'il volt'esangue
Le chiome lacerate il capo basso
Qual rosa che calcata in terra langue
O mirabil pietà, o dolce pegno
O sacr'o santo sangue
Si largamente spars'al duro legno
O rar'o nuova legge
Humiliars'a mort'accerb'e dura
Quel chel ciel e la terr'e'l mar corregge
Piangi mond'orbo, piang'egra natura
Mort'é'l pastor per liberar lo gregge
Com'agnel mansueto alla tonsura.
