Lyrics:

Caligaverunt oculi mei a fletu meo: 
quia elongatus est a me, qui consolabatur me.
Videte, omnes populi, 
si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus.

[Verse:] O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam, attendite, et videte 
si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus


English translation:
My eyes are darkened by my tears: 
for he is far from me that comforted me.
See, all you people,
if there be a sorrow like unto my sorrow

[Verse:] O all you that pass by, behold and see 
if there be a sorrow like unto my sorrow
