God's starry castle is in mourning

1. The starry castle of God is covered with mourning, ; They have drawn a curtain over the window of heaven. ; The spotless lamb has died, has died, ; On the altar of the holy cross, soaked in blood. ; ; 2. Heaven comes to the funeral, ; And the angelic cheeks are shedding tears. ; The lost daughter weeps, sobs, ; The Virgin Mary's sorrow reaches the sky. ; ; 3. My dear son, my dear upbringing, ; I now bid you farewell. ; Oh, alas, when two hearts must part, ; Even honey often turns bitter. ; ; 4. The beautiful red rose of the cross, ; My love, her dear treasury. ; Great torment, for me my happiness has died, ; My flower watered with my milk. ; ; 5. Your body is already all bloody, ; And my soul feels great pain. ; As the cruel spear pierces you, ; My soul also is pierced by it. ; ; 6. Where then shall I bow my poor head, ; My Jesus, who has mercy on me. ; Oh, embrace me, pierced saint, ; Which was always ready to help me. ; ; 7. A sharp dagger pierces the breast of the holy Virgin, ; All the seven wounds are renewed on her heart. ; She is broken in pain, ; If holy Magdalene had not caught her. ; ; 8. Guardian of heaven, you died for our salvation, ; For the entrance of our souls into heaven. ; Look upon the bitterness of your holy mother, ; And give us the sacred treasure of heaven.
