J.S. Bach: St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 - Part Two - "Erbarm es Gott"(original) |
Erbarm es Gott! |
Hier steht der Heiland angebunden. |
O Geißelung, o Schläg, o Wunden! |
Ihr Henker, haltet ein! |
Erweichet euch |
Der Seelen Schmerz, |
Der Anblick solches Jammers nicht? |
Ach ja! |
ihr habt ein Herz, |
Das muss der Martersäule gleich |
Und noch viel härter sein. |
Erbarmt euch, haltet ein! |
(translation) |
Have mercy God! |
Here the Savior stands tied. |
O scourging, o blows, o wounds! |
You executioners, stop! |
soften yourselves |
the pain of the soul, |
The sight of such misery not? |
Oh yes! |
you have a heart |
That must equal the torture pillar |
And be a lot tougher. |
Have mercy, stop! |
