Се лежу, возлюблении мои братие (партесный концерт) / Here I am, my beloved brethren

Анонимный партесный концерт XVIII века A capella Leopolis Here I am, my beloved brethren, I lie amid you all, silent and voiceless. My mouth is stopped, my tongue is stilled, And my lips are curbed; My hands are bound and my feet are fettered; My appearance is changed, My eyes are extinguished and see not those who lament, My ears receive not the cry of them that mourn, My nose smells not the fragrance of incense. Thus I beseech all my acquaintances and friends: Commemorate me before the Lord, that I may find mercy in the day of judgment and rest with righteous men
