Victoria - Tenebrae Responsories - Una hora

[varghedin]

Una hora non potuistis vigilare mecum

qui exhortabamini mori pro me?

Vel Judam non videtis, quomodo non dormit,

sed festinat tradere me Judeis?

Quid dormitis?

Surgite, surgite et orate,

ne intretis in tentationem

Vel Judam non videtis, quomodo non dormit,

sed festinat tradere me Judeis.

[varghedin]

TRANSLATION:

One hour could you not watch with me?

you who declared that you would die for me?

Or do you not see Judas? how he sleeps not,

but hurries to betray me to the Jews?

Why do you sleep?

Arise, arise and pray

that you enter not into temptation.

Or do you not see Judas? how he sleeps not,

but hurries to betray me to the Jews?
