A beautiful purple rose blooms on Golgotha

1. A beautiful, crimson rose blooms on Golgotha,
There stands the sorrowful Virgin, like a lily.
She watches her holy son suffer on the cross
Oh, do not leave us, be with us, our sorrowful Virgin.


2. In pain, she looks up at the holy cross,
She sees her loving holy son dying there.
In a sea of torment, a rose submerged,
Oh do not leave us, be with us, our sorrowful Virgin.

&nbsp,
3. He cried out with a great lamentation, heavenly angels,
On the painful death of my Son, you also sob.
A sea of torment descends on his wounded heart,
Oh do not forsake him, be with us, our sorrowful Virgin.


4. Saint John and Magdalene, leaning into his arms,
With infinite pain, look up to heaven.
His holy son is already dead, he is left an orphan,
Oh do not forsake him, be with us, our sorrowful Virgin.

&nbsp,
5. Terrible sorrows tear his holy heart,
When they took his holy son from his holy cross.
The Virgin placed him in her lap, kissing his holy wound,
Oh do not forsake him, be with us, our sorrowful Virgin.


6. Oh, sad widows and abandoned orphans,
Look how much she suffers, our sorrowful Virgin.
In our sufferings, thus we sigh to you,
Oh do not abandon us, be with us, our sorrowful Virgin.
