| When David heard that Absalom was slain, | Quando Davide seppe che Absalom era stato ucciso, |
| he went up into his chamber over the gate and wept, | salì nella sua camera oltre la porta e pianse, |
| and thus he said: | e così disse: |
| My son, my son, | figlio mio, figlio mio, |
| O Absalom my son, | O Absalom figlio mio, |
| would God I had died for thee! | se Dio fossi morto per te! |
