Begging song of poor children

Boys' choir

Bimm, bamm, bimm, bamm...

Women's choir:

Three angels were singing a sweet song;

With joy it resounded blissfully up to heaven.

They were rejoicing happily as well,

That St. Peter was free of sin,

Free of sin.

And when the Lord Jesus sat down at the table

To sup with his twelve apostles,

The Lord Jesus said: "Why are you standing here?

When I look at you, you weep.

Alto:

And why should I not weep, gracious God...

Women's choir

You should not weep!

Alto:

I have violated the Ten Commandments.

I go and weep bitterly,

Oh, come and have mercy,

Have mercy on me!

Women's choir:

If you have violated the Ten Commandments,

Fall on your knees and pray to God!

Love only God at all times,

And so you will attain heavenly joy!

Heavenly joy is a blessed city;

Heavenly joy, which no longer has an end!

Heavenly joy was granted to St. Peter

Through Jesus, and for the salvation of all.
