Lamentaciones 2

Eles dizem para suas mães: "Onde está o pão e o vinho?", desmaiando como homens feridos nas estradas da cidade, suas vidas caindo no colo das suas mães.

Decían á sus madres: ¿Dónde está el trigo y el vino? Desfallecían como heridos en las calles de la ciudad, derramando sus almas en el regazo de sus madres.

They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom.

They ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
