«Versa est in luctum cithara mea,
et organum meum in vocem flentium.
Parce mihi, Domine,
nihil enim sunt dies mei».
(Job 30:31; 7:16)


«My harp is turned to mourning
and my organ into the voice of those that weep.
Spare me, O Lord,
for my days are nothing».

«Mi arpa se ha transformado en luto
y mi órgano en la voz de los que lloran.
Perdóname, Señor,
porque mis días no son nada».
