Whitacre: When David Heard - Eric Whitacre, Eric Whitacre Singers

When David heard that Absalom was slain,

he went up into his chamber over the gate and wept,

and thus he said:

My son, my son,

O Absalom my son,

would God I had died for thee!

Quando Davide seppe che Absalom era stato ucciso,

salì nella sua camera oltre la porta e pianse,

e così disse:

figlio mio, figlio mio,

O Absalom figlio mio,

se Dio fossi morto per te!
