O you the most knowing and loveliest of AngelsA
a god fate betrayed deprived of praisesB
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
O Prince of exile to whom wrong has been doneD
who vanquished always recovers more stronglyC
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You who know everything king of the underworldE
the familiar healer of human distressF
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You who teach even lepers accursed pariahsB
through love itself the taste for ParadiseG
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
O you who on Death your ancient true loverH
engendered Hope that lunatic charmerH
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You who grant the condemned that calm proud lookI
that damns a whole people crowding the scaffoldJ
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You who know in what corners of envious countriesK
a jealous God hid those stones that are preciousL
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You whose clear eye knows the deep cachesM
where buried the race of metals slumbersM
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You whose huge hands hide the precipiceM
from the sleepwalker on the sky scraper s cliffN
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You who make magically supple the bonesM
of the drunkard out late who s trampled by horsesM
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You who taught us to mix saltpetre with sulphurH
to console the frail human being who suffersM
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You who set your mark o subtle accompliceM
on the forehead of Croesus the vile and pitilessM
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
You who set in the hearts and eyes of young girlsM
the cult of the wound adoration of ragsM
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
The exile s staff the light of inventionD
confessor to those to be hanged to conspiratorsM
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
Father adopting those whom God the FatherH
drove in dark anger from the earthly paradiseM
O Satan take pity on my long miseryC
