lyrics
Quod ergo Deus, va caro, oculos eius, super me –
Why vex and vex?
I dashed against him, I broke his teeth,
but could not vex him, nor stop the rushing waters of his voice,
which cannot grow weary – I had grown weary –
so I fell at his feet as though dead, but could not vex him
Why does the leaf rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Why vex and vex? His delight is to vex and vex
So dash against him, break his teeth,
you will not vex him, nor stop the rushing waters of his voice,
which cannot grow weary – you have grown weary –
so fall at his feet as though dead; you will not vex him
Why does the leaf rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Why vex and vex, when his delight is to vex and vex?
