Other motets - Poulenc

Vinea mea electa, ego te plantavi.
Quomodo conversa es in amaritudinem,
ut me crucifigeres et Barrabam dimiteres?

Sepivi te et lapides elegi ex te,
et aedificavi turrim.

‍

O my chosen vineyard, I planted you.
How have you turned into bitterness,
so that you crucify me and release Barabbas?

I protected you and removed the stones from your path,
and built a tower for you.
