A Lenten Musical Journey, Day 46

Waiting; waiting; waiting.

O tù chì dormi
in sta petra sculpita
d’avè suffertu
da colpi è di ferite
dopu d’atroci martiri
persu hai ancu la vita,
oghje riposi tranquillu
a tò sufferenza hè finita.

Oh you who sleep
Within this sculpted stone
And have suffered blows and wounds
After atrocious torments
You have also lost your life
Rest in tranquility today
Your suffering is over.
