| 1. Dies iræ! dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla:
Teste David cum Sibylla! | Day of wrath! O day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' warning,
Heaven and earth in ashes burning! |
| 2. Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando iudex est venturus,
Cuncta stricte discussurus! | Oh, what fear man's bosom rendeth,
when from heaven the Judge descendeth,
on whose sentence all dependeth. |
| 3. Tuba, mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulchra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum. | Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth;
through earth's sepulchers it ringeth;
all before the throne it bringeth. |
| 4. Mors stupebit, et natura,
Cum resurget creatura,
Iudicanti responsura. | Death is struck, and nature quaking,
all creation is awaking,
to its Judge an answer making |
| 5. Liber scriptus proferetur,
In quo totum continetur,
Unde mundus iudicetur. | Lo! the book, exactly worded,
wherein all hath been recorded:
thence shall judgment be awarded. |
| 6. Iudex ergo cum sedebit,
Quidquid latet, apparebit:
Nil inultum remanebit. | When the Judge his seat attaineth,
and each hidden deed arraigneth,
nothing unavenged remaineth. |
| 7. Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus,
Cum vix iustus sit securus? | What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding,
when the just are mercy needing? |
| 8. Rex tremendæ maiestatis,
Qui salvandos salvas gratis,
Salva me, fons pietatis. | King of Majesty tremendous,
who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us! |
| 9. Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuæ viæ:
Ne me perdas illa die. | Think, good Jesus, my salvation cost thy wondrous Incarnation;
leave me not to reprobation! |
| 10. Quærens me, sedisti lassus:
Redemisti Crucem passus:
Tantus labor non sit cassus. | Faint and weary, thou hast sought me,
on the cross of suffering bought me.
shall such grace be vainly brought me? |
| 11. Iuste iudex ultionis,
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis. | Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution
grant thy gift of absolution,
ere the day of retribution. |
| 12. Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
Culpa rubet vultus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus. | Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
all my shame with anguish owning;
spare, O God, thy suppliant groaning! |
| 13. Qui Mariam absolvisti,
Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spem dedisti. | Thou the sinful woman savedst;
thou the dying thief forgavest;
and to me a hope vouchsafest. |
| 14. Preces meæ non sunt dignæ:
Sed tu bonus fac benigne,
Ne perenni cremer igne. | Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
rescue me from fires undying! |
| 15. Inter oves locum præsta,
Et ab hædis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra. | With thy favored sheep O place me;
nor among the goats abase me;
but to thy right hand upraise me. |
| 16. Confutatis maledictis,
Flammis acribus addictis:
Voca me cum benedictis. | While the wicked are confounded,
doomed to flames of woe unbounded
call me with thy saints surrounded. |
| 17. Oro supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis:
Gere curam mei finis. | Low I kneel, with heart submission,
see, like ashes, my contrition;
help me in my last condition. |
| 18. Lacrimosa dies illa,
qua resurget ex favilla
iudicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus: | Ah! that day of tears and mourning!
From the dust of earth returning
man for judgment must prepare him;
Spare, O God, in mercy spare him! |
| 19. Pie Jesu Domine,
dona eis requiem. Amen | Lord, all pitying, Jesus blest,
grant them thine eternal rest. Amen. |
Great job Gabriela!
