Lyrics Tenebrae Responsories For Holy Saturday / In secundo nocturno: Responsorium VI: Ecce quomodo moritur justus - Tenebrae , Carlo Gesualdo
Ecce quomodo moritur justus
(Behold how the righteous man dies)
Et nemo percipit corde.
(And no one understands.)
Viri justi tolluntur
(Righteous men are taken away)
Et nemo considerat.
(And no one considers:)
A facie iniquitatis sublatus est justus
(The righteous man has been taken away from present iniquity)
Et erit in pace memoria eius:
(And his memory shall be in peace.)
Tamquam agnus coram tondente se obmutuit,
(As a sheep before her shearers is dumb,)
Et non aperuit os suum:
(So he opened not his mouth:)
De angustia, et de judicio sublatus est.
(He was taken from prison and from judgement.)
Et erit in pace memoria ejus.
(And his memory shall be in peace.)
Ecce quomodo moritur justus
(Behold how the righteous man dies)
Et nemo percipit corde.
(And no one understands.)
Viri justi tolluntur
(Righteous men are taken away)
Et nemo considerat.
(And no one considers:)
A facie iniquitatis sublatus est justus
(The righteous man has been taken away from present iniquity)
Et erit in pace memoria eius:
(And his memory shall be in peace.)
