Текст и перевод песни Estampie - Ben E Crudele

Ben E Crudele

Ben è crudele e spietoso
Ki non si move a gran dolore
De la pena del Salvatore
Che di noi fo si amoroso!
Amoroso veramente
Fo di noi, cum gran pientança
Poi ke d'alto 'nnipotente
Discese ad nostra semblanca
Or, non fo grande disianca
Per noi prender humanitate
Et darsi in altrui podestand
Quei ke sovr'ogá è poderoso?
Riposo I Camin et forte
Ci trovo, ciascuna dia!
Picciol tante, i volse morte
Dar Erode cum fellunia:
Cristo e loseppo cum Maria
Fuggiero in terra d'Egipto
Et canpar per tal respicto
De li mani del niquitoso
Niquitoso, fals' e reo
Trovo'l popolo iudaico
Predicando'l vero deo
Ciascun, farisei' et laico
Più for duri k'aciaio indonaco
D'intendar, quella gente praca!
Quant'esso più miraculava
Ciascun gli era più indivioso
Indiviosi miscredenti
Quanto cristo iniuriaste!
Sanicando vostre gente
Suscitando, l'accusaste
Ad Pilato, et puoi pigliaste
Comparandolo dal traditore
Ke suo ministr'er' e factore
Per tornamentarlo, glorioso!

Ben E Crudele

He's cruel and merciless,
Who's not moved with grief,
At the pain of the Savior,
Who for us was filled with so much love!
Truly loving us
He was, with great sorrow
That from above in almighty power
He descended in our likeness
Now, is it not a great disgrace,
That he took on human nature for us
And gave himself into the power of others?
He who is powerful over all?
Rest, I travel and fight
I find it every day!
Little children, he willed to death
Herod, with their treachery:
Christ and Joseph with Mary
Fled into the land of Egypt
And escaped by such means
From the hands of the wicked man
Wicked, false, and evil,
I found the Jewish people,
Preaching the true God.
Everyone, Pharisees and laity
Harder than unbendable steel
To hear, those people pray!
The more he performed miracles,
The more envious everyone was of him.
Envious, unbelieving,
How you wronged Christ!
Healing your people,
Raising them up, you accused him
To Pilate, then you took
Comparing him to the traitor
Who was his servant and betrayer
To torment him gloriously!
