ܝܶܫܽܘܥ܇ ܝܶܫܽܘܥ
Jesus, Jesus,
ܝܶܫܽܘܥ ܒܚܰܫܳܐ ܩܒܺܝܥ ܠܶܒܝ ܝܰܘܡܳܢ
Jesus, my heart is full of sorrow today
ܝܶܫܽܘܥ܇ ܝܶܫܽܘܥ܇ ܝܶܫܽܘܥ
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
ܝܶܫܽܘܥ ܒܪܽܘܡܚܳܐ ܕܰܩܪܽܘܟ݂ ܘܰܠܡܽܘܢ
Jesus, why did they stab your side with a spear
ܟܰܕ ܕܠܳܐ ܚܛܳܗ ܐܰܢ̱ܬ
You are without sin
ܘܰܒܩܰܝܣܳܐ ܬܠܶܐ ܐܰܢ̱ܬ
Yet you were hung on a cross
ܟܰܕ ܡܚܰܘܽܘܟ݂ ܒܪܽܘܡܚܳܐ
When you were stabbed with spears,
ܟܰܕ ܨܰܠܒܽܘܟ݂ ܛܥܰܘ ܠܗܽܘܢ
When your crucifixion was forgotten,
ܕܰܐܢ̱ܬ ܗ̱ܽܘ ܡܳܪܝܳܐ
You are the Lord
ܚܠܳܦ ܫܳܩܽܘܬ݂ܳܐ ܡܖ̈ܳܪܶܐ ܝܰܗ̱ܒܘ
Instead of water, you were left alone
ܚܠܳܦ ܛܳܒܽܘܬ݂ܳܐ ܒܺܝܫܬܳܐ ܦܪܰܥܘ
Your kindness was returned with evil
ܫܒܽܘܩ ܠܗܽܘܢ ܐܳܘ ܒܶܪܝ
Forgive them, my son
ܫܒܽܘܩ ܠܗܽܘܢ ܐܳܘ ܒܶܪܝ ܝܶܫܽܘܥ
Forgive them, my son Jesus
ܝܶܫܽܘܥ܇ ܝܶܫܽܘܥ
Jesus, Jesus,
ܝܶܫܽܘܥ ܠܳܐ ܝܺܕ݂ܰܥܘ ܕܰܐܢ̱ܬ ܗ̱ܽܘ ܣܰܒܪܗܽܘܢ
Jesus, it never occurred to them that you hoped for them,
ܝܶܫܽܘܥ܇ ܝܶܫܽܘܥ
Jesus, Jesus,
ܝܶܫܽܘܥ ܠܳܐ ܚܙܰܘ ܢܽܘܗܪܳܐ ܕܡܰܢܗܰܪ ܠܗܽܘܢ
Jesus, they did not see the bright light for them
ܠܳܐ ܬܶܕܟ݂ܰܪ ܠܗܽܘܢ ܚܛܳܗ̈ܶܐ ܕܺܝܠܗܽܘܢ
Do not mention their sins
