I shall know why, when time is over
Language: English
Available translation(s): FRE GER ITA
I shall know why, when time is over,
And I have ceased to wonder why;
Christ will explain each separate anguish
In the fair schoolroom of the sky.
He will tell me what Peter promised,
And I, for wonder at his woe,
I shall forget the drop of anguish
That scalds me now, that scalds me now.

Conoscerò il perché ‑ quando sarà finito...
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the English
Conoscerò il perché - quando sarà finito il tempo,
e avrò cessato di chiedermi il perché -
Cristo mi spiegherà ogni singola angoscia
nelle aule chiare del cielo.
Mi parlerà di ciò che "Pietro" ha promesso,
Ed io - piena di meraviglia davanti al suo dolore -
dimenticherò quella goccia di angoscia
che dentro mi brucia adesso, dentro mi brucia adesso!
