Translation of the song lyrics Etwas Altes / Interlude - Glasperlenspiel

Etwas Altes / Interlude (original)

Heinrich Schütz
Magnificat anima mea Dominum
Et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae
Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes
Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius
Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui
Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles
Esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes
Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio et nunc et
semper et in saecula saeculorum
Amen

Etwas Altes / Interlude (translation)

Heinrich Schütz
My soul magnifies the Lord
And my spirit rejoiced in God my Savior
Because he has respected the humility of his handmaid
For behold from henceforth all generations shall declare me blessed
Because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and his holy name
And his mercy is from progeny to those who fear him
He made power with his arm, he scattered the proud in the mind of his heart
He has put down the powerful from his seat and has exalted the lowly
He has filled the hungry with good things;
He has taken up his servant Israel, remembering his mercy
As he spoke to our fathers, Abraham and his descendants in the world
Glory to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, just as it was in the beginning and now and
forever and ever
Amen
