Lyrics

Stabat mater dolorosa
juxta Crucem lacrimosa,
dum pendebat Filius.
Cuyus animam gementem,
contristatam et dolentem,
pertransivit gladius.
O quam tristis et afflicta
fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti.
Quae moerebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater cum videbat
Nati poenas incliti.

Lyrics translation

Standing in front of mother loss
according to the Cross lacrimosa,
while hanging the Son.
Cuyus soul moaning,
contristatam and painful,
he went about the sword.
Oh how sad and mortified
was she blessed
The Mother Of The Only-Begotten.
Which moerebat prostration,
Loving Mother when he saw
Born and penalties incliti.
