Do not go into the garden,
Oh! Jesus,
do not go into the garden before dawn!
But if I do not go into the garden in the dead of night,
who will lead you to the sunrise of Paradise?
I will go into the garden in the dead of night.
Do not let them bind your hands,I will go into the garden in the dead of night.
Oh! Jesus,
do not let them bind your hands without a word!
If I do not let them bind my hands like a thief,
who will break open the prisons
in which you languish?
I will let them bind my hands like a thief.
Do not hang on the cross,who will break open the prisons
in which you languish?
I will let them bind my hands like a thief.
Oh! Jesus,
do not hang on the cross 'til you die!
If I do not hang on the cross like a bird,
who will protect you from the flames of hell?
I will hang on the cross like a bird.
Do not let your heart be pierced,who will protect you from the flames of hell?
I will hang on the cross like a bird.
Oh! Jesus,
do not let your heart be pierced by executioners!
If I do not let my heart be pierced like a ripe fruit,
from whom will you drink the blood and water
that will heal you?
I will let my heart be pierced like a ripe fruit.
from whom will you drink the blood and water
that will heal you?
I will let my heart be pierced like a ripe fruit.
Do not go to into the tomb,
Oh! Jesus,
do not go into the tomb that they have dug!
If I do not go into the tomb
like a grain of wheat,
who will lift from your coffins your lifeless bodies?
I will go into the tomb to sleep there.
like a grain of wheat,
who will lift from your coffins your lifeless bodies?
I will go into the tomb to sleep there.
