Pie jesu, pie jesu
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
Dona eis requiem
Agnus dei, agnus dei
Agnus dei, agnus dei
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
Sempiternam, sempiternam requiem
Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
You who take away the sins of the world
Grant them peace
Grant them peace
Lamb of god, lamb of god
Lamb of god, lamb of god
You who take away the sins of the world
Grant them peace
Grant them peace
Peace everlasting, everlasting
The lyrics to the Charlotte Church and Sarah Brightman Duet's song "Pie Jesu" are a powerful and emotional prayer for peace and rest for the departed. The phrase "Pie Jesu" itself is a Latin phrase that means "merciful Jesus." The repetition of this phrase throughout the song adds to the intensity and solemnity of the lyrics.
The first verse of the song includes the line "Qui tollis peccata mundi," which translates to "who takes away the sins of the world." This line is repeated in the subsequent verses, underscoring the message of redemption through the sacrifice of Jesus. The lines "Dona eis requiem" mean "grant them rest," and this plea is repeated several times throughout the song.
The second verse of the song also features the phrase "Agnus Dei," which means "Lamb of God." This line is repeated several times and serves as a reminder that Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of humanity. The final line "Sempiternam requiem" translates to "everlasting rest" and brings the song to a peaceful conclusion.

The young man never moved a muscle, never changed expressions, only walked out, stood and opened his mouth... That was all he needed to do. Magnificent
