Tenebrae Liedtext – Harrison Birtwistle

Tenebrae Liedtext by Harrison Birtwistle

Nah sind wir Herr
Nahe und greifbar
Gegriffen schon, Herr
Ineinander verkrallt, als wär

Der Leib eines jeden von uns
Dein Leib, Herr
Bete, Herr
Bete zu uns

Wir sind nah
Windschief gingen wir hin
Gingen wir hin, uns zu bücken
Nach Mulde und Maar

Zur Tränke gingen wir, Herr
Es war Blut, es war
Was du vergossen, Herr
Es glänzte

Es warf uns dein Bild in die Augen, Herr
Augеn und Mund stehn so offen und leer, Herr
Wir habеn getrunken, Herr
Das Blut und das Bild, das im Blut war, Herr

Bete, Herr
Wir sind nah
We are near, Lord
Near and at hand

Handled already, Lord
Clawed and clawing as though
The body of each of us were
Your body, Lord

Pray, Lord
Pray to us
We are near
Wind-awry we went there

Went there to bend
Over hollow and ditch
To be watered we went there, Lord
It was blood, it was

What you shed, Lord
It gleamed
It cast your image into our eyes, Lord
Our eyes and our mouths are open and empty, Lord

We have drunk, Lord
The blood and the image that was in the blood, Lord
Pray, Lord
We are near

Tenebrae Lyrics English

We are close to
Close and tangible
Grander already, Lord
Claw in one another as if

The body of each of us
Your body, Lord
Bete, Lord
Pray for us

We are close
We went to the wind
We went to bend down
After Mulde and Maar

We went to the potion, Lord
It was blood, it was
What you shed, Lord
It shone

It threw your picture into our eyes, Lord
Aug that’s and mouth are so open and empty, Lord
We drank, Lord
The blood and the image that was in the blood

Bete, Lord
We are close
We are near, Lord
Near and at hand

Handled Already, Lord
Clawed and Clawing as Though
The Body of Each of Us Were
Your body, lord

Pray, Lord
Pray to us
We are near
Wind-Aawry We Went There

Went there to bend
Over Hollow and Ditch
To be watered we went there, Lord
It what blood, it what

What you Shed, Lord
It Gleamed
It cast your image into our eyes, Lord
Our Eyes and our Mouths Are Open and Empty, Lord

We have drunk, Lord
The Blood and the Image That In The Blood, Lord
Pray, Lord
We are near
