Original text with translation
Anne Sofie von Otter, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti
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!
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!
