Paroles et traduction Marco Frisina - Rorate coeli

Rorate coeli

Rorate cœli desuper
Et nubes pluant iustum.
Ne irascaris Domine,
Ne ultra memineris iniquitatis:
Ecce civitas Sancti facta est deserta:
Sion deserta facta est:
Ierusalem desolata est:
Domus sanctificationis tuæ et gloriæ tuæ,
Ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri.

Rorate coeli

Drop down dew, heavens, from above
And let the clouds rain down the Just One.
Be not angry, O Lord,
Do not remember our iniquities any more:
Behold the City of the Holy One has become a desert:
Zion has become a desert:
Jerusalem is desolate:
The house of Your sanctification and Your glory,
Where our fathers praised You.
