Lloren, pecadores
con mucho dolor,
la pasión y muerte
de Nuestro Señor.
Cuando lo prendieron,
con beso de paz,
lo llevan preso
en casa de Anás.
Luego lo remiten,
bien asegurado,
al rey cruel Herodes
que fuera azotado.
Por loco lo tienen,
falso y cruel ingrato,
lo visten de blanco
se le envía a Pilatos.
Con los tribunales
lo traen con prisiones
con caja y trompetas
y falsos pregones.
"¡Ecce Homo!" le dicen
puesto en el balcón;
le leen su sentencia
a voz de pregón.
Los judíos pidieron
que sea coronado,
de manos y pies,
que sea en cruz clavado.
English Translation
Cry, sinners
with much pain,

of Our Lord.
When they arrested him,
with the kiss of peace,
they take him prisoner
to the house of Annas.
Then they turn him over,
well secured,
to the cruel king Herod
to be scourged.
They took him for a crazy man
false and cruel ingrate,
they dress him in white
and sent him to Pilate.
With the tribunals

with drum and trumpets
and false cries.
"¡Ecce Homo!" the tell him,
displayed on a balcony;
they read him his sentence
in public pronouncement.
The jews asked
that he be crowned,
nailed to a cross
by hands and feet.
