March 6 – A Dialogue of the Soul with the Mother, Part 1 from the Bitter Lamentations

“I, the mother grieving sorely,
Overcome with grief and worry
Feel the piercing sword of pain;
feel the piercing sword of pain.”

Why, O Mary, why, dear Mother,
Is your heart thus, made to suffer?
Why do you so deeply grieve;
why do you so deeply grieve?

“Do not ask! I faint with sorrow;
My speech halts, I fear the morrow,
And my heart is overcome;
and my heart is overcome.”

Tell me, tell me, blessed Mary,
Visage pale with grief and worry,
Why your tears so bitter flow;
why your tears so bitter flow?

“I see there my heart’s beloved,
My own Son there in the garden,
Covered with a sweat of blood;
covered with a sweat of blood.”

Mother, source of love unceasing,
Let me share your anguished weeping.
May I weep with you this day;
may I weep with you this day!

Translation by the National United Choirs of the Polish National Catholic Church, Music Commission

“Ach! Ja Matka tak żałosna!
Boleść mnie ściska nieznośna.
Miecz me serce przenika;
Miecz me serce przenika.”

Czemuś, Matko ukochana,
Ciężko na sercu stroskana?
Czemu wszystka truchlejesz;
Czemu wszystka truchlejesz?

“Co mię pytasz? Wszystkam w mdłości,
Mówić nie mogę z żałości,
Krew mi serce zalewa;
Krew mi serce zalewa.”

Powiedz mi, o Panno moja,
Czemu blednieje twarz Twoja?
Czemu gorzkie łzy lejesz;
Czemu gorzkie łzy lejesz?

“Widzę, że Syn ukochany
W Ogrójcu cały zalany
Potu krwawym potokiem;
Potu krwawym potokiem.”

O Matko, źródło miłości,
Niech czuję gwałt Twej żałości!
Dozwól mi z sobą płakać;
Dozwól mi z sobą płakać.
