Pie Jesu
Chloe Lynn Mairead Lyrics

The lyrics to Chloe Lynn Mairead's "Pie Jesu" are in Latin and are traditionally associated with the Catholic Requiem Mass. The song opens with the words "Pie Jesu Domine," which translates to "Merciful Jesus, Lord." The next two lines repeated twice, "Dona eis requiem," mean "Grant them rest." After the repetition of these lines, the song changes slightly with the addition of the word "dona" which translates to "give." The lyrics then shift to "Sempiternam requiem," which means "eternal rest."

The song "Pie Jesu" is often used in requiem Masses as a prayer for the dead, asking for mercy and rest for the deceased. Chloe Lynn Mairead's version of the song is a beautiful and haunting interpretation that showcases her vocal range and control. The repetition of the lines "Dona eis requiem" and "Sempiternam requiem" adds to the overall feeling of mourning and the yearning for peace for the departed.
