Schola Regina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pater noster, qui es in cælis
Sanctificétur nomen tuum
Advéniat regnum tuum
Fiat volúntas tua
Sicut in cælo et in terra
Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie
Et dimítte nobis débita nostra
Sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris
Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem
Sed libera nos a malo
Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem




Sed libera nos a malo
Amen, amen

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics are the Latin version of the Lord's prayer. The song Pater Noster by Schola Regina is a rendition of this prayer set to music. The lyrics are a plea to God, beginning with the acknowledgement of His power and presence in heaven. The first line "Pater Noster, qui es in cælis" means "Our Father, who art in heaven". This line establishes the relationship between the pray-er and God as that of a child and a father.


The next line, "Sanctificétur nomen tuum" means "Hallowed be thy name". In saying this, we acknowledge the greatness and holiness of God. The following lines express the supplicant's desire for God's will and kingdom to come to earth, and for His provision of daily bread. The lines "Et dimítte nobis débita nostra" and "Sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris" ask for forgiveness of sins and attest to the importance of forgiving others.


The final two lines, "Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem, sed libera nos a malo" mean "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil". This is a final plea for God to protect the supplicant from harm and temptation. The song "Pater Noster" by Schola Regina is a beautiful interpretive version of the Lord's prayer that invokes humility, awareness of God's power, and trust in His goodness.

Pater noster, qui es in caelis
sanctificetur nomen tuum
adveniat regnum tuum
fiat voluntas tua
sicut in caelo et in terra.

Panem nostrum quotidianum
da nobis hodie
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus
debitoribus nostris
et ne nos inducas in tentationem
sed libera nos a malo.

Amen.
