Give in, Magdaleno! from Christ's foot,
- give me a place: Az imam has much sorrow for his sins.
Your defilements have already been cleansed with tears
and your iniquities have already been forgiven.
I am still wallowing in the sinful mire:
I want to look for the sheet at His feet.
Give way, O woman, from the foot of Christ,
and I am ready to find His mercy.
You've already wet them enough with your tears
and received forgiveness for your sins.
I still want to fall on his nose
and, like a sinner, weep more in the darkness.
Give in, Magdalene, who loved Christ unflatteringly
and fallen to His holy mold!
You have already satisfied my heart to satiety,
She pleased Tom with a kind kiss.
I want to lay it on my beloved God
and kiss his clean foot diligently.
Magdalene's answer to the sinner
Our Lord is generous to everyone; It doesn’t fit everyone tightly,
He accepts everyone, is happy to everyone, loves everyone, it’s known.
If only people would flock here from all over the world,
Be at ease with them at the feet of my Christ.
Together with me you will have His feet,
I pray for mine, for your sins.
