IV Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut, ............ Johann Sebastian Bach BWV 199 (1685-1750) (Cantata for the 11th Sunday after Trinity)

(1) Recitative

Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut, My heart swims in blood Weil mich der Sünden Brut because the brood of my sins In Gottes heilgen Augen in God's holy eyes Zum Ungeheuer macht. makes me into a monster. Und mein Gewissen fühlet Pein, And my conscience feels pain Weil mir die Sünden nichts because my sins are nothing Als Höllenhenker sein. but Hell's hangmen. Verhaßte Lasternacht! Detested night of vice! Du, du allein You, you alone Hast mich in solche Not gebracht; have brought me into such distress; Und du, du böser Adamssamen, and you, you evil seed of Adam, Raubst meiner Seele alle Ruh rob my soul of all inner peace Und schließest ihr den Himmel zu! and shut it off from heaven! Ach! unerhörter Schmerz! Ah! unheard of pain! Mein ausgedorrtes Herz My withered heart Will ferner mehr kein Trost befeuchten, will in future be moistened by no comfort Und ich muß mich vor dem verstecken, and I must conceal myself from him Vor dem die Engel selbst ihr Angesicht verdecken. before whom the angels themselves

conceal their faces.

(2) Aria and recitative

Stumme Seufzer, stille Klagen, Silent sighs, quiet moans, Ihr mögt meine Schmerzen sagen, you may tell of my pains Weil der Mund geschlossen ist. Since my mouth is closed. Und ihr nassen Tränenquellen And you wet springs of tears Könnt ein sichres Zeugnis stellen, can offer certain witness Wie mein sündlich Herz gebüsst. Of how my sinful heart has repented. Mein Herz ist itzt in Tränenbrunn, My heart is now a well of tears, Die Augen heisse Quellen. my eyes hot springs. Ach Gott! Wer wird dich doch zufriedenstellen? Ah God! Who then will give you

satisfaction!

(3) Recitative

Doch Gott muß mir gnädig sein, But God must be gracious to me Weil ich das Haupt mit Asche, because I wash my head with ashes Das Angesicht mit Tränen wasche, my face with tears, Mein Herz in Reu und Leid zerschlage I beat my heart in remorse and sorrow Und voller Wehmut sage: and full of grief say: Gott sei mir Sünder gnädig! God, be gracious to me, a sinner Ach ja! sein Herze bricht, Ah yes! his heart breaks Und meine Seele spricht: and my soul says:

(4) Aria

Tief gebückt und voller Reue Deeply bowed and full of remorse Lieg ich, liebster Gott, vor dir. I lie, dearest God, before you Ich bekenne meine Schuld, I acknowledge my guilt, Aber habe doch Geduld, but still have patience, Habe doch Geduld mit mir! still have patience with me!

(5) Recitative

Auf diese Schmerzensreu Amidst these pains of remorse Fällt mir alsdenn dies Trostwort bei: this word of comfort comes to me.

(6) Aria

Ich, dein betrübtes Kind, I, your troubled child Werf alle meine Sünd, cast all my sins, So viel ihr in mir stecken that are fixed so many within me Und mich so heftig schrecken, and frighten me so fiercely, In deine tiefen Wunden, into your deep wounds Da ich stets Heil gefunden. where I have always found salvation.

(7) Recitative

Ich lege mich in diese Wunden I lay myself in these wounds Als in den rechten Felsenstein; as upon the true solid rock: Die sollen meine Ruhstatt sein. they should be my place of rest. In diese will ich mich im Glauben schwingen In these I want to soar in faith Und drauf vergnügt und fröhlich singen: and content and happy to sing:

(8) Aria

Wie freudig ist mein Herz, How joyful is my heart Da Gott versöhnet ist since God is reconciled Und mir auf Reu und Leid and through my remorse and sorrow Nicht mehr die Seligkeit no longer from salvation Noch auch sein Herz verschliesst. Or from his heart shuts me away.
