about

The Mystical Garden is a beautiful Romanian folk song, that is often sung during Holy Week.

lyrics

English:

There was once a mystical garden
in which the Lord prayed with bitter tears
His face, reflected the soft glowing moonlight X2
As He sunk down to the grave of despair. X2

Many times He fell upon the ground
and prayed with unspeakable sadness
Please let this cup pass, let me not drink of it, X2
the cup of the suffering Servant. X2

In Gethsemane, blood from His brow did stream down
His tears watered the garden soil below
As He draped Himself in the garment of humility X2
And prepared for the path to Calvary. X2

O Gethsemane, the unforgotten garden,
You have seen the pain of our Lord
You watched Judas, with his kiss of betrayal X2
You have born witness to the Son of God X2

O Gethsemane, how I wish I could have been there
that I might also see the place where He wept
that I may also weep with tears of bitterness X2
For it was He that that wept for me. X2

There was once a mystical garden
in which the Lord prayed with bitter tears
His face, mirrored the soft glowing moonlight X2
As He sunk down to the grave of despair. X2

Romanian:

Era odată o tainică grădină
În care Domnul se ducea plângând
Și fața lui cea plină de lumină
Era-ntristată până la mormânt

De câte ori pe față el căzuse
Și se ruga cu lacrimi de nespus
Să-l treacă tatăl, să nu-i dea paharul
Paharul suferinței lui Isus

O, Ghețimani, grădina suferinței
În tine plânse Domnul cu amar
Și ce se-mbracă-n haina umilinței
Și-și pregătește drumul spre calvar

O, Ghețimani, grădină neuitată
Tu ai văzut durerea lui Isus
Și Iuda când l-a sărutat odată
Pe Domnul strălucirilor de sus

O, Ghețimani, aș vrea să fiu în tine
Să văd și locul unde Domnu-a plâns
Să plâng și eu cu lacrimi și suspine
Să plâng, căci pentru mine Domnu-a plâns.
