Lyrics and translation Samuel Barber - Hermit Songs, Op. 29 No. 5: The Crucifixion
At
the
cry
of
the
first
bird
Au
cri
du
premier
oiseau
They
began
to
crucify
Thee,
O
Swan!
Ils
ont
commencé
à
te
crucifier,
ô
Cygne !
Never
shall
lament
cease
because
of
that.
Jamais
le
lamentation
ne
cessera
à
cause
de
cela.
It
was
like
the
parting
of
day
from
night.
C'était
comme
la
séparation
du
jour
de
la
nuit.
Ah,
sore
was
the
suffering
borne
Ah,
la
souffrance
était
dure
à
porter
By
the
body
of
Mary's
Son,
Par
le
corps
du
Fils
de
Marie,
But
sorer
still
to
Him
was
the
grief
Mais
encore
plus
dure
pour
lui
était
le
chagrin
Which
for
His
sake
Qui,
pour
son
bien,
Came
upon
His
Mother.
Est
tombé
sur
sa
Mère.
