Текст песни Tenebrae Responsories For Holy Saturday / In primo nocturno: Responsorium III: Plange quasi virgo - Carlo Gesualdo, Tenebrae & Nigel Short

Plange quasi virgo, plebs mea,
(Weep like a virgin, my people,)
Ululate, pastores, in cinere et cilicio
(Howl, keepers of the flock, covered
With ashes and wearing hair-shirts,)
Quia veniet dies Domini magna et amara valde.
(For the great and very bitter day of the Lord will come.)
Accingite vos, sacerdotes, et plangite, ministri altaris,
(Prepare yourselves, priests, and lament, acolytes before the altar,)
Aspergite vos cinere.
(Cover yourselves with ashes.)
Quia veniet dies Domini magna et amara valde.
(For the great and very bitter day of the Lord will come.)
