Requiem, Op. 48: VI. Libera Me (original)

Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna,
in die illa tremenda, in die illa.
Quando coeli movendi sunt,
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra.
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
Tremens, tremens factus sum ego,
et timeo, dum discussio venerit
at que ventura ira.
Dies illa, dies iræ,
calamitatis et miseriæ.
Dies illa, dies magna
et amara, amara valde.
Requiem æternum donna eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis, luceat eis.
Libera me, Domine, de morte æternum,
in die illa tremenda, in die illa.
Quando coeli movendi sunt,
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra.
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna.
libera me, Domine.

(translation)

Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death
in that terrible day, in that day.
When the heavens are moving
when the heavens and the earth are to be moved.
When you come to judge the world by fire.
I am trembling, I am trembling
and I will wait until the trial comes
and also the wrath to come.
That day is the day of wrath
calamity and misery.
that day is a great day
and bitter, very bitter.
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord
and let perpetual light shine on them, shine on them.
Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death
in that terrible day, in that day.
When the heavens are moving
when the heavens and the earth are to be moved.
When you come to judge the world by fire.
Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death.
free me, Master.
