Pergolesi: Stabat Mater - Sancta mater - Kathleen Ferrier, Joan Taylor, The Boyd Neel String Orchestra

Sancta Mater istud agas

Crucifixi fige plagas

Cordi meo valide.

Tui nati vulnerari,

Tam dignati pro me pati,

Poenas mecum divide.

Fac me vere tecum flere

Crucifixo condolere,

Donec ego vixero.

Juxta crucem tecum stare

libenter sociare

In planctu desidero.

Virgo virginum praeclara,

Mihi iam non sis amara,

Fac me tecum plangere.

Holy Mother you are doing this

fix the wounds of the crucified

My heart's smashing.

Your children are vulnerable

You are so deigned for me

Punish me.

Make me weep with you

to commiserate with the crucified

Until I live.

Stand by the cross with you

glad to join you

I miss the mourning.

the most beautiful virgin of virgins

You're not bitter to me right now

Make metetete to mourn.
