The sorrowful and heartrending
aria "Erbarme dich, mein Gott" from
the "Matthäus Passion" by J.S Bach.
With the somptuous voice of
Maureen Forrester (contralto)
Original text :
Erbarme dich, mein Gott,
Um meiner Zähren Willen !
Shaue hier, Herz und Auge
Weint vor dir bitterlich.
Erbarme dich, mein Gott !
Translations :
Have mercy, my God,
For the sake of my tears !
See here, heart an eye
Weep bitterly before you.
Have mercy, my God !
Aie pitié, mon Dieu,
à la vue de mes larmes !
Voie, mon coeur et mes yeux
pleurent amèrement devant toi.
Aie pitié, mon Dieu !

Apologies to the poster. I missed the credit to "Erbarme dich, mein Gott". I never knew it was taken fron Bach. But it is without question one on the most tearful songs ever written.

An aria of sorrowful son whose soul is singing itself...

This is quite simply the absolute BEST version of ERBARME DICH in existence! Forrester excells beyond belief here!

This is the first voice that has reduced me to tears. And that was when listening to her Kindertotenlieder. But THIS... this was a sob fest.

When you think of those horrors which accompany with mankind on a way of its development you console itself in that in this history there is music by J.S.Bach.
