歌词
Verse 1
In caelis altis, dii filium dilectum habuerunt,
Cor eius ardens, amore ignis insatiabilis fuit.
Cadit eorum gratia, in terris peregrinus,
Amor eius, fatum incertum, numquam consummatus.
Chorus
Ὦ θεοὶ, τί πταίει ὁ υἱός; "O gods, what has the son done wrong?"
Ἔρως κατέσβεσθε, ἀνταπόκρισις οὐδεμία. "Love extinguished, no response given"
Πεπρωμένον ἄδοξον, καρδία κατεχόμενος, "Fate inglorious, heart held captive,"
ἐν σκιᾷ πέπτων, πῶς ἄντεσθαι; "In shadow fallen, how to endure?"
Verse 2
Ad terram errans, spei lumine carebat,
Mortales timidi, amorem eius recusabant.
Quamvis divinus, cordis sui vulnera ferens,
Solus et desperatus, in tenebris laborabat.
Chorus (Ancient Greek)
Ὦ θεοὶ, τί πταίει ὁ υἱός; "O gods, what has the son done wrong?"
Ἔρως κατέσβεσθε, ἀνταπόκρισις οὐδεμία. "Love extinguished, no response given."
Πεπρωμένον ἄδοξον, καρδία κατεχόμενος, "Fate inglorious, heart held captive,"
ἐν σκιᾷ πέπτων, πῶς ἄντεσθαι; "In shadow fallen, how to endure?"
Bridge (Latin)
Dii fratres, cur me reliquistis?
In solitudine, animus meus perditus est.
Vita sine amore, poena immortalis,
Sed cor meum fortiter sustinet dolorem.
Verse 3
Ἐν ὀνείροις, τὸ φῶς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βλέπει, "in dreams, he sees the light of heaven,"
Ἔρως ἁγνὸς, ὡς πάλαι ἦν λαμπρὸς. "Love pure, as it once was bright."
Πλήν γῆς ἐν λύπῃ, σκιᾷ ἐνδεδυμένος, "Yet on earth in sorrow, clad in shadow,"
Ἀναπαύσασθε, πόθος ἀνεκπλήρωτος. "Rest, unfulfilled desire."
Chorus
Ὦ θεοὶ, τί πταίει ὁ υἱός; "O gods, what has the son done wrong?"
Ἔρως κατέσβεσθε, ἀνταπόκρισις οὐδεμία. "Love extinguished, no response given."
Πεπρωμένον ἄδοξον, καρδία κατεχόμενος, "Fate inglorious, heart held captive,"
ἐν σκιᾷ πέπτων, πῶς ἄντεσθαι; "In shadow fallen, how to endure?"
Outro
Amor invictus, lucem reperiet "Unconquered love, shall find the light",
Anima pura, iterum volabit. "Pure soul, shall soar again."
Πίστις ἄκαμπτος, θεοὺς κατηγορεῖ, "Unyielding faith, accuses the gods,"
Ὦ υἱέ, καρδία σου κρατεῖ. "O son, thy heart prevails."
