For Pep

Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world

 

Josep Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.

Josep Dei, you who take away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.

Josep Dei, you who take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

 

You, Messianic

In the face of turning trends -

Greece '04,became all in 2010.

You who washed our feet,

Let loose upon that sublime field

The form of God made manifest.

Now stricken you die for us

In the face of Mourinho -

Persistently monochromatic cardigans.

Let down from your cross

On the lips of a thousand apostles

An endless conversation hushed onward.

Josep Dei, you who take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
