Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, 
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem. 
Exaudi orationem meam,
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, 
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and let everlasting light shine upon them.
A hymn, O God, becometh Thee in Sion,
and a vow shall be paid to Thee in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer; 
before Thee all flesh shall come.
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, 
and let everlasting light shine upon them.

Lord, have mercy upon us. 
Christ, have mercy upon us. 
Lord, have mercy upon us.

Dies irae – Chorus
Dies irae, dies illa, 
solvet saeclum in favilla, 
teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus, 
quando judex est venturus 
cuncta stricte discussurus.

The day of wrath, that day
will dissolve the world in ashes,
as David prophesied with the Sibyl.
How great a terror there will be
when the Judge shall come
who will thresh out everything thoroughly!

Tuba mirum – Chorus
Tuba mirum spargens sonum 
per sepulcra regionum
coget omnes ante thronum.

The trumpet, scattering a wondrous sound 
through the tombs of every land,
will gather all before the throne. 

Mors stupebit– Bass
Mors stupebit et natura,
cum resurget creatura, 
judicanti responsura.

Death and nature shall stand amazed
when creation rises again
to answer to the judge.

Liber scriptus – Mezzo-soprano, Chorus
Liber scriptus proferetur 
in quo totum continetur, 
unde mundus judicetur. 
Judex ergo cum sedebit, 
quidquid latet apparebit, 
nil inultum remanebit. 

Dies irae, dies illa, 
solvet saeclum in favilla,
teste David cum Sibylla.

A written book will be brought forth 
which contains everything
for which the world shall be judged.
And so when the Judge takes his seat whatever is hidden shall be made manifest, nothing shall remain unavenged.

The day of wrath, that day
will dissolve the world in ashes,
as David prophesied with the Sibyl.

Quid sum miser – Soprano, Mezzo-soprano, Tenor
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus,
cum vix justus sit securus?

King of dreadful majesty,
who freely saves the redeemed, 
save me, O Fount of Pity.

Recordare – Soprano, Mezzo-soprano 
Recordare, Jesu pie,
quod sum causa tuae viae, 
ne me perdas illa die.
Quaerens me, sedisti lassus,
redemisti crucem passus; 
tantus labor non sit cassus.

Juste judex ultionis, 
donum fac remissionis 
ante diem rationis.

Ingemisco - Tenor
Ingemisco tanquam reus, 
culpa rubet vultus meus, 
supplicanti parce, Deus. 
Qui Mariam absolvisti,
et latronem exaudisti, 
mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Preces meae non sunt dignae, 
sed tu, bonus, fac benigne,
ne perenni cremer igne. 
Inter oves locum praesta, 
et ab haedis me sequestra, 
statuens in parte dextra.

I groan as one guilty,
and my face blushes with guilt. 
spare the suppliant, O God.
Thou who didst absolve Mary [Magdalene]
and hear the prayer of the thief,
hast given me hope as well. 
My prayers are not worthy,
but Thou, O good one, show mercy, 
lest I burn in everlasting fire.
Give me a place among the sheep, 
and separate me from the goats, 
placing me on Thy right hand.

When the damned are confounded 
and consigned to scarring flames, 
call me to be with the blessed.
I pray, suppliant and kneeling, 
a heart as contrite as ashes,
take Thou my ending into Thy care. 

The day of wrath, that day
will dissolve the world in ashes,
as David prophesied with the Sibyl.

Lacrymosa – Solo Quartet, Chorus
Lacrymosa dies illa, 
qua resurget ex favilla 
judicandus homo reus. 
Huic ergo parce Deus, 
pie Jesu Domine,
dona eis requiem. Amen.

That day is one of weeping
on which shall rise again from the ashes
the guilty man, to be judged.
Therefore spare this one, O God, 
merciful Lord Jesus.
Grant them rest. Amen.

Domine Jesu Christe, rex gloriae,
libera animas omnium fidelium
defunctorum de poenis inferni
et de profundo lacu. 

Libera eas de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat eas tartarus,
ne cadant in obscurum;
sed signifer sanctus Michael
repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam, 
quam olim Abrahae promisisti,
et semini ejus.

Hostias et preces tibi,
Domine laudis offerimus.
Tu suscipe pro animabus illis,
quarum hodie memoriam facimus;
fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam,
quam olim Abrahae promisisti,
et semini ejus.

Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory,
deliver the souls of all the faithful 
departed from the pains of hell 
and from the bottomless pit. 

Deliver them from the jaws of the lion, 
that hell may not swallow them up, 
and they may not fall into darkness;
but may the holy standard-bearer Michael
bring them into the holy light,
as Thou didst promise of old to 
Abraham and his seed.

We offer unto Thee, O Lord,
sacrifices and prayers of praise.
Do Thou receive them on behalf of those souls 
whom we commemorate this day.
Allow them, Lord, to pass from death to life,
as Thou didst promise of old to
Abraham and his seed.

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, 
Dominus Deus Sabaoth!
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis!
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. 
Hosanna in excelsis!

Holy, holy, holy, 
Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest!
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. 
Hosanna in the highest!

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem sempiternam.

O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world; grant them rest.
O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world; grant them eternal rest.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, 
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, 
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, 
et lux perpetua luceat eis;
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, 
quia pius es.

Let everlasting light shine on them, O Lord,
with Thy saints forever,
for Thou art merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and let everlasting light shine upon them;
with Thy saints forever,
for Thou art merciful.

Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna 
in die illa tremenda;
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra.
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem. 

Tremens factus sum ego et timeo,
dum discussio venerit atque ventura ira.

Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra.

Dies irae, dies illa, calamitatis et miseriae, dies magna et amara valde.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna 
in die illa tremenda.

Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death 
on that awful day
when the heavens and earth shall be moved.
When Thou shall come to judge the world with fire.

I am seized with trembling and I fear
the time when the trial shall approach, and the wrath to come.

When the heavens and the earth shall be shaken.

The day of wrath, that day, of calamity and misery, a dreadful and exceedingly bitter day.

Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
and let everlasting light shine upon them.

Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that awful day.
