Lyrics
I don’t know what to do
– Nescio quid facere
Thought I was righteously leading our people, but
– Nos igitur convocati, quia certo sciebamus,
Now I’m faced with the truth
– Nunc ego adversus veritatem
What kind of leader can’t tell good from evil?
– Quod genus ducis non potest dicere bonum a malo?
All those poor souls, how many could have been saved?
– Tutti attendono rinforzi quanti poterit salvus esse?
How could I trust in a justice so cruel and depraved?
– Quomodo confido in iustitia tam crudelis et prava?
One seeks an answer that one can not grant her
– Responsum quaerit unum quod non potest ei concedere
You’re looking for light only you can ignite
– Lucem quaeris tantum accendere potes
Every transgression must serve as a lesson
– Omne transgressio debet esse lectio
Yesterday, you drew sorrow
– Heri dolorem hausit
What will you do tomorrow?
– Ma è per domani?
I feel no wiser than when I commanded the slaughter of those sons and daughters
– Nesciunt sapiente quam cum impedit caedes filiorum et filiarum
(You can’t hide)
– (Non potes abscondere)
How can I be sure I don’t repeat more massacre based on mistaken conceit?
– Quomodo certo possum non plus repetere caedem secundum fallacem conceptum?
(Look inside)
– (Vide intus)
If I stand down and leave us exposed, would that be blind to the threat Hell may pose?
– Si me diligeretis, quid est hoc?
You can’t know, though time flows on
– Non potes scire, quamquam tempus fluit
So you must bear the cross bestowed upon you
– Et portasti crucem quae data est tibi
Take pity, I pray
– Donna me prega, perch ‘ io voglio dire
Give me a sign, what’s your guidance?
– Da mihi signum, quid ductu tuo?
Please show me the way
– Ostende mihi quaeso viam
You speak of choices made by other voices
– De electionibus ab aliis vocibus factis loqueris
You can only atone (Tell me how to atone)
– Tantum potes expiare (Dic mihi quomodo expiare)
Once you speak with your own
– Semel loqueris cum tuis propriis
If souls from damnation
– Si quid de damnatione
Can earn their salvation
– Potest earn salutis suae
And find their forgiveness on high
– Remissionem (descensum) vero sub finalem [fol.
How do I?
– Quam operor ego?
