Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ITA

Nacht und Schatten decken des Mittlers Angesicht;
und des Richters Schrecken erträgt die Seele nicht!
Ach, wie ist ihm bange um Freudigkeit und Licht!
Vater, ach wie lange verzeucht dein Angesicht!
Herr, erbarme dich! Gott, erbarme dich!

Il buio poco prima della morte di Gesù

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

La notte e le ombre coprono il volto dell’Inviato;
e l’anima non può sopportare i terrori del giudice!
Oh, come sta preoccupato al confine con la gioia e la luce! 
Padre, oh quanto tempo sarò senza il tuo viso!
Signore, abbi pietà! Dio, abbi pietà!
