Requiem
Mozart Lyrics

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them

Te decet Hymnus, Deus in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem
A hymn is fitting for you, O God, in Zion, and a vow shall be fulfilled to you in Jerusalem

Exaudi Orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet
Hear my prayer, to you all flesh shall come

Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy

Dies irae, dies illa solvet saeclum in favilla, teste David cum Sybilla
Days of wrath, that day will dissolve the world into ashes, as David and the Sibyl bear witness

Quantus tremor est futurus, quando judex est venturus, cuncta Stricte Discussurus
What trembling there will be when the judge comes to examine everything strictly

Tuba mirum spargens sonum per sepulchra regionum, coget omnes Ante thronum
The wondrous trumpet, sounding through the tombs of every land, shall call all before the throne

Mors stupebit et natura, cum resurget creatura, judicanti Responsura Liber scriptus proferetur, in quo totum continetur, unde mundus Judicetur
Death and nature shall be astonished when the creature rises again to answer the judge. The written book will be brought forth, containing everything for which the world will be judged

Judex ergo cum sedebit, quidquid latet apparebit, nil inultum Remanebit
Therefore when the judge takes his seat, whatever is hidden will be revealed, nothing will remain unpunished

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? quem patronum rogaturus, cum vix Justus Sit securus?
What am I, a miserable person, to say at that moment? To which protector should I appeal when even the just may not be safe?

Rex tremandae maiestatis, qui salvandos salvas gratis, salva me Fons Pietatis
King of tremendous majesty, who freely saves those worthy of salvation, save me, source of mercy

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 tanquam reus, culpa rubet vultus meus; supplicanti Parce Deus Qui Mariam absolvisti, et latronem exaudisti, mihi quoque spem Dedisti Preces meae non sum dignae, sed tu, bonus, fac benigne, ne Perenni Cremer igne Inter oves locum praesta, et ab hoedis me sequestra, statuens in Parte Dextra
Remember, merciful Jesus, that I am the cause of your journey; do not abandon me on that day. After wearying yourself by seeking me, you redeemed me by suffering on the cross; let not so much labor be in vain. Righteous judge of vengeance, give me the gift of forgiveness before the day of retribution. I groan like a guilty one, my face reddens with shame; O God, spare your suppliant. You absolved Mary and heard the prayer of the thief; to me you have also given hope. Though my prayers are not worthy, be kind, O good one, lest I be consumed by the eternal fire. Grant me a place among the sheep on your right hand, and separate me from the goats.

Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis, voca me cum Benedictis Oro supplex et acclinis, cor contritum quasi cinis, gere curam Mei finis
The cursed are confounded, consigned to the acrid flames; call me with the blessed. I pray, supplicant and kneeling, with a heart as crushed as ashes, take care of my end

Lacrymosa dies illa, qua resurget ex favilla judicandus homo Reus Huic ergo parce Deus, pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem! Amen!
That day of tears and mourning, when from the ashes rises guilty man to be judged. Spare him then, 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
Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory! Free the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and the deep abyss. Free them from the lion's mouth, so that Tartarus may not swallow them, nor may they fall into darkness. But may the holy standard-bearer Michael lead them into the holy light which you promised to Abraham and his seed.

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
We offer you, O Lord, sacrifices and prayers of praise. Receive them in behalf of those souls we commemorate today. Grant them, O Lord, to pass from death into the life which you promised to Abraham and his seed.

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth! pleni sunt coeli Et terra Gloria tua Osanna in excelsis
Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts! Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.

Benedictis, qui venit in nomine Domini
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem Sempiternam Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis in aeternum, quia Pius es
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant them eternal rest. May eternal light shine upon them, O Lord, with the saints in eternity, for you are merciful.
