Silêncio

(recitation)
Jesus, having sung the last hymn, He with his
disciples, went up to the Mount of Olives,
and there in the garden of Gethsemane, he said to his
disciples: 'Stay here, watch and pray, so that you do not
fall into temptation'

Silence, it was in the garden,
when Jesus cried out like this:
'Abba Father, Abba Father... let this cup pass
from me'
It was not possible

(recitation)
And Jesus was brought before Pilate's presence
And there the crowd shouted: 'Crucify him, crucify him!'
And like a silent lamb, He did not open his mouth

Not even God from the high heavens could look upon.
'My God, my God, my God, my God
Why have you forsaken me?'

The earth shook, it also trembled and the sun did not shine,
And the sun did not shine, its brightness
'Eloi, my God, my God, my God, Lamá Sabactani'

(recitation) And the Son of the living God, consummated the temple veil
And the temple veil from top to bottom, from top to bottom was
torn

Not even God from the high heavens could look upon
'My God, my God, my God, my God
Why have you forsaken me?'

'Eloi, my God, my God, my God, Lamá Sabactani
Lamá Sabactani.
