Latin text Ego sum tui plaga doloris, tuae culpa occisionis, ego tuae mortis meritum, tuae vindictae flagitium, ego, ego tuae passionis livor, cruciatus tui labor. Dutch translation Ik ben de slag van jouw pijn de schuld van de moord op jou, aan mij heb je jouw dood te danken, mij is de schanddaad wijten van jouw bestraffing ik, ik ben de blauwe plek van jouw lijden ik ben de ellende van jouw terechtstelling. Translation by Anton Hendriks, Ben Terstegge, Hanneke Pot

English translation I am the blow that brings You pain, I am at fault for Your murder, I am to blame for Your death, And for the shame of Your punishment. I, I am the bruise of Your agony, The hardship of Your torment. Translation by Pamela Dellal © courtesy Emmanuel Music, Boston, MA USA www.emmanuelmusic.org
