Original text and translations
Latin text
Plorat amare et liquitur in undas
Citas Petrus Apostolorum princeps.
Domino pernegato quem amabat
Haec secum, bone Jesu quid patravi?
Et reputans iniuriam illatam
Et scelus suum in duro saxo cubat.
Et quoties inaudi galli cantum
Humectat planctu pudibundas genas.
German translation
Bitterlich weint und zerfließt in Sturz-
bächen Petrus, der höchste der Apostel.
Er, der seinen geliebten Herrn verleugnete,
bei sich selbst: „Lieber Jesus, was tat ich?“
Und die auf sich geladene Schuld
und den begangenen
Frevel bedenkend,
bettet er sich auf harten Fels.
Und sooft er
den Hahnenschrei vernimmt,
benetzt sein Wehklagen die schamroten Wangen.
