Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Mattino di luce
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the Armenian (հայերեն) 
Mattino di luce, sole di giustizia,
Il tuo lume si levi dentro me.
Destati, o Signore, ad assisterci:
Desta me assopito:
Fa ch'io divenga simigliante agli angioli.
Destati, o Signore.
Fatti vita di me che son morto,
Fatti luce per me ottenebrato,
Lenisci il mio dolore!
Io ti prego con la mia voce,
Io ti supplico con le mie mani:
Concedimi il dono della tua Benevolenza.
Dà ai miei occhi l'acqua perché io pianga,
Perchè io pianga a grosse lagrime,
E così cancelli i miei peccati.
Gesù in nome dell'amore,
Intenerisci nel tuo amore il mio cuore di pietra.
Versa, o Signore, nella mia anima
La rugiada del tuo sangue,
E la mia anima si rallegrerà.
