Maria ging aus wandern

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA

Maria ging aus wandern,
so fern ins fremde Land,
bis sie Gott den Herren fand.

Sie hat ihn schon gefunden
wohl vor des Herodes Haus,
er sah so betrüblich aus.

Das Kreuz, das musst' er tragen
nach Jerusalem vor die Stadt,
wo er gemartet ward.

Was trug er auf seinem Haupte?
Ein' scharfe Dornenkron';
das Kreuz, das trägt er schon.

Daran soll man bedenken,
ein jeder jung or alt,
dass das Himmelreich [leidet]¹ Gewalt!

Maria uscì peregrinando

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

 Maria uscì peregrinando
 in paese lontano e straniero,
 finché incontrò il Signore Iddio.

 Lo ha proprio incontrato
 davanti alla casa di Erode:
 pareva così rattristato.

 La croce, che dovette portare
 a Gerusalemme fuori città,
 dove venne martoriato.

 Che aveva in capo?
 una pungente corona di spine:
 la croce, già la porta.
                                                       
 Tenga ben conto ognuno,
 giovane o vecchio,
 che il regno dei cieli  patisce violenza!
