Lyrics and translation Samuel Barber feat. Cheryl Studer & John Browning - Hermit Songs Op.29: 1. At Saint Patrick's Purgatory
Pity
me
on
my
pilgrimage
to
Loch
Derg!
Aie
pitié
de
moi,
sur
mon
pèlerinage
à
Loch
Derg !
O
King
of
the
churches
and
the
bells
Ô Roi
des
églises
et
des
cloches,
Bewailing
your
sores
and
your
wounds,
Je
déplore
tes
blessures
et
tes
plaies,
But
not
a
tear
can
I
squeeze
from
my
eyes!
Mais
je
ne
peux
pas
arracher
une
larme
de
mes
yeux !
Not
moisten
an
eye
Pas
une
seule
larme
After
so
much
sin!
Après
tant
de
péchés !
Pity
me,
O
King!
What
shall
I
do
Aie
pitié
de
moi,
Ô Roi !
Que
dois-je
faire
With
a
heart
that
seeks
only
its
own
ease?
Avec
un
cœur
qui
ne
cherche
que
sa
propre
aisance ?
O
only
begotten
Son
by
whom
all
men
were
made,
Ô Fils
unique
par
qui
tous
les
hommes
ont
été
faits,
Who
shunned
not
the
death
by
three
wounds,
Qui
n’a
pas
fui
la
mort
par
trois
blessures,
Pity
me
on
my
pilgrimage
to
Loch
Derg
Aie
pitié
de
moi,
sur
mon
pèlerinage
à
Loch
Derg
And
I
with
a
heart
not
softer
than
a
stone!
Alors
que
mon
cœur
n’est
pas
plus
tendre
qu’une
pierre !
