O Caritas [English translation]

This ornament of the world, I do not want to lose it.

I see everything’s on fire

I hear people shouting

Now the light of the world and the stars is extinguishing

Now bad people conceive their sins

With sadness and tears, deep is the grief

From the Earth and the Seas, great is the cry

Oh compassion, oh compassion, may love always be with us

Us, who will perish greeting the death

Only life will resurrect itself

Ah, this world is burning fast

Oh, the world will never last

I don't want to lose it here in my time

Give me time forever here in my time
