Stabat mater dolorosa
 (Sung text for setting by A. Vivaldi)
 See base text
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  DUT ENG FRE
1 Stabat Mater dolorosa
Iuxta crucem lacrimosa
dum pendebat Filius.

2. Cuius animam gementem,
contristatam et dolentem,
pertransivit gladius.

3. O quam tristis et afflicta
fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti.

4. Quæ mœrebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater cum videbat
Nati pœnas incliti.

5. Quis est homo qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si videret
in tanto supplicio?

6. Quis non posset contristari,
Christi Matrem contemplari
dolentem cum Filio?

7. Pro peccatis suæ gentis
vidit Iesum in tormentis
et flagellis subditum.

8. Vidit suum dulcem natum
moriendo desolatum,
dum emisit spiritum.

9. Eia Mater, fons amoris,
me sentire vim doloris
fac, ut tecum lugeam.

10. Fac ut ardeat cor meum
in amando Christum Deum,
ut sibi complaceam.
