Saltatio Mortis "Maria" lyrics

Translation to:en

Maria

Maria durch ein Dornwald ging,Kyrie Eleison!An ihrer Brust ein Kindlein hing,Das Widerwillen sie empfing.Verzweifelte Maria, verzweifelte Maria!

[Refrain]Maria durch den Dornwald ging,Kyrie Eleison!Maria dann im Dornwald Hing.Kyrie Eleison!

Was hat sie dabei ertragen?Kyrie Eleison!All das Zögern und Verzagen,verfolgt von bangen Fragen,Ängstliche Maria, ängstliche Maria!

[Refrain]

Zur Abtreibung war sie bereit.Kyrie Eleison!Doch hätte sie damit entweihtDas Gebot der Christenheit,Ergebene Maria, ergebene Maria!

Nun hängt sie selbst an einem Strick.Kyrie Eleison!Traurig gebrochen ist ihr Blick,Denn Mutter sein war nicht ihr GlückRuhe sanft, Maria.

[Refrain]

Mary

Mary walked through a thorny forestLord, have mercy!On her breast a small child was hangingThat she had conceived against her will.Desperate Mary, desperate Mary!

[chorus]Mary walked through the thorny forest.Lord, have mercy!Mary then hung in the thorny forestLord, have mercy!

What did she suffer then?Lord, have mercy!All the hesitations and despairfollowed by fearful questions,Fearful Mary, fearful Mary!

[chorus]

She was ready for abortion.Lord, have mercy!But with that she would have desecratedThe commandment of Christianity.Obedient Mary, obedient Mary!

Now she herself is hanging on a rope.Lord, have mercy!Sad and broken is her stare.For being a mother did not bring her happiness.Rest in peace, Mary.

[chorus]
