[00:00.00] Oh You, the wisest and most beautiful of angels,
[00:05.13] A god betrayed by fate and bereft of praise.
[00:13.43] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[00:16.24] Oh Prince of Exile, to whom injustice has been done,
[00:20.95] And who in defeat arises more strong.
[00:28.91] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[00:32.56] You who know all, Lord of the Underworld,
[00:36.43] And the healer of the wounds of humankind.
[00:43.38] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[00:48.41] You who even to lepers and outcasts under band
[00:52.62] Teach through love and the taste of Paradise.
[00:59.89] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[01:04.21] Oh you who gave to Death his faithful concubine,
[01:08.46] A child called Hope - demented but divine.
[01:15.17] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[01:20.38] You who gave the outlaw the serene and haughty smile
[01:24.76] That from the scaffold damns the crowd.
[01:32.54] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[01:36.14] You who know in what corners of the Earth
[01:39.72] The jealous god has hidden the precious stones.
[01:48.59] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[01:51.89] You whose penetrating eyes discern the deep earth arsenals,
[01:57.91] Where precious metals sleep.
[02:04.35] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[02:07.90] You whose massive hand conceals the precipice,
[02:12.19] From the somnambulists on the brink of the edifice.
[02:20.04] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[02:23.83] You whose magic softens the drunkard's fall
[02:28.42] When flying horses kick him in the skull.
[02:36.27] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[02:39.65] You who, to console Man in his suffering,
[02:43.79] Taught us to mingle saltpeter and sulphur.
[02:51.58] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[02:55.68] You who set your mark, through subtle accomplice,
[02:59.19] On the brow of the pitiless, vile millionaire.
[03:11.97] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[03:13.24] You who fill the eyes and hearts of girls
[03:15.59] With the cult of wounds and love of worthless pearls.
[03:25.40] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[03:27.38] Staff of the Exiled, lamp of the inventors,
[03:31.52] Confessor of the Hand and the Conspirators.
[03:37.71] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[03:41.82] Foster-father of those in his black anger
[03:47.68] God the father drove from the earthly paradise.
[03:54.41] (O Satan, take pity on my long misery!)
[04:07.56] Satan be praised, be glorified on high,
[04:11.75] And in the depths of Hell
[04:13.47] Where you must lie in Silence,
[04:19.38] Ruminating your defeat.
[04:23.41] Grant that my soul some day may find
[04:26.81] A seat under your tree of knowledge,
[04:30.95] Which shall spread its limbs
[04:35.20] To make a temple overhead.
[00:00.00] Oh You, the wisest and most beautiful of angels,
[00:05.13] A god betrayed by fate and bereft of praise.
[00:13.43] O Satan, take pity on my long misery!
[00:16.24] Oh Prince of Exile, to whom injustice has been done,
[00:20.95] And who in defeat arises more strong.
[00:28.91] O Satan, take pity on my long misery!
