Es tut mir leid by Stuart Moffatt — Lyrics
Es tut mir leid
um deinet willen:
Deine grimmige Not
kehrt dich unwillig um.
Es tut mir leid
dich anzusehen:
Deine glänzenden Aug'n
seh'n sich weinerlich um.
Es tut mir leid

About Es tut mir leid
Stuart Moffatt’s secular chanson, Es tut mir leid, is written for solo voice and piano. The German text expresses a deep and growing pity for the listener, who is facing hardship and sorrow. The speaker's sympathy intensifies as they observe the listener's distress, and they lament that God's apparent displeasure has caused such pain. Yet, the text offers a hopeful conclusion: this suffering, if sent by the Almighty, is ultimately a form of divine correction, intended for betterment and spiritual improvement.
