Title
Cristo, derrama teu sangue e lava nossos pecados...
Text
Submitted by Bruno Moraes
Source language: Brazilian Portuguese

Cristo, derrama teu sangue
E lava nossos pecados
Cristo, derrama teu sangue
E lava nossos pecados
Quão impiedoso, quão cruel
O sofrimento de tantos inocentes
Em nome de desejos obscuros
Ó Santo Pai, Deus onipotente,
Te rogamos para que tenhas
Piedade destes que sofrem
E lhes traga paz

Title
Christe, effunde sanguinem tuam
Translation
Latin

Translated by Aneta B.
Target language: Latin

Christe, effunde sanguinem tuum
Et lava peccata nostra
Christe, effunde sanguinem tuum
Et lava peccata nostra
Quam durus, quam crudelis
Dolor tam multorum innocentium
Sub nomine desideriorum obscurorum.
O Sancte Pater, Deus Omnipotens,
Imploramus eis miserere qui dolent
Atque dona eis pacem
Remarks about the translation
Bridge provided by Lilian Canale:
"Christ, shed your blood
And wash our sins
Christ, shed your blood
And wash our sins
How ruthless, how cruel
The suffering of so many innocent
In the name of obscure desires.
O Holy Father, Almighty God,
We beseech that you have
mercy upon those who suffer
And bring them peace"

Hi, dear!
Sanguis, sanguinis ----> masculine
Innocentum -----> innocentium
Misereas ----> shouldn't "miserere" have an impersonal construction?
And why "nobis... propter eos"? Here I think God's mercy is referred to "those who suffer" ---> so "miserere" should have "those who suffer" as its object.

Thank you, Efee! I agree with you and have made corrections. Is it ok, now?

It's perfect...
But "miserere" is with genitivus. I know we say "miserere nobis", but the right construction is "miserere nostri".

Yes, Efee. I know this problem. But, I think that both of the forms are acceptable. It is from your side:
"in the Classical the 'object of pity' is (almost) always genitive". (miserere nostri)

But, Efee, when we say about latest Medieval Latin we meet usually "miserere nobis". I thought about it and decided to choose the latest form because all prayers are expressed in this late version of Latin.

Miserere nobis <nostri>
