Song Text

Crimen Adae quantum constat!
Verte oculos ad montem,
ibi vide vitae fontem
proprio sanguine demersum.
(Vide clavos et tormenta,
matris poenas desolatae.
Cur non mundas homo ingrate
inter scelus cor immersum?)

Oh, here is what results Adam's sin has led to!
Turn your eyes to that mountain,
and there watch the spring of life
drowning in his own blood.
(Watch the nails! Watch his torments!
Watch the holy mother suffering!
Why do not you, ungrateful mankind,
cleanse your heart immersed in crime?)
