Original Latin Text

texts from the chants of
Hildegard von Bingen
______________________________

O cruor sanguinis

O cruor sanguinis,
qui in alto sonuisti,
cum omnia elementa se implicuerunt
in lamentabilem vocem cum tremore,
quia sanguis Creatoris sui illa tetigit.

Unge nos de languoribus nostris.

O bloodshed

 

O bloodshed
with which the heights resounded
as all the elements enfolded themselves
in wailing voices, trembling,
as the Creator's own blood touched them.

Sooth our ills, relieve our distress.
