Steig, o Mutter aller Schmerzen,
Auf den Altar meiner Verse!
Blut aus deinen magren Brusten
Hat des Schwertes Wut vergossen.
Deine ewig frischen Wunden
Gleichen Augen, rot und offen.
Steig, o Mutter aller Schmerzen,
Auf den Altar meiner Verse!
In den abgezehrten Händen
Hältst du deines Sohnes Leiche.
Ihn zu zeigen aller Menschheit -
Doch der Blick der Menschen meidet
Dich, o Mutter aller Schmerzen!

登上吧，哦 背負眾悲傷的聖母，
（登上）我詩句的聖壇！
血從妳瘦弱的胸臆間
湧流在刀劍的憤怒下。
妳那永遠新鮮的創傷
彷彿雙眼，血紅而瞪大著。
登上吧，哦 背負眾悲傷的聖母，
（登上）我詩句的聖壇！
在妳枯瘦的雙手中
妳抱著妳兒子的屍體，
向世人顯明他的身份－
但世人的目光都迴避著
妳，哦 背負眾悲傷的聖母！
