Requiem, K. 626: Sequentia: Dies irae(original) |
| Dies irae, dies illa |
| solvet saeclum in favilla |
| teste David cum Sibylla |
| Quantus tremor est futurus |
| quando judex est venturus |
| cuncta stricte discussurus |
| Tuba mirum spargens sonum |
| Per sepulcra regionum, |
| Coget omnes ante thronum. |
| Mors stupebit et natura |
| Cum resurget creatura |
| judicanti responsura |
| Liber scriptus proferetur |
| in quo totum continetur |
| unde mundus judicetur |
| Judex ergo cum sedebit |
| quidquid latet apparebit |
| nil inultum remanebit |
| Quid sum miser tunc dicturus |
| quem patronum rogaturus |
| cum vix justus sit securus? |
| Rex tremendae majestatis, |
| qui salvandos salvas gratis, |
| salva me, fons pietatis. |
| 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 sunt dignae, |
| sed tu bonus fac benigne, |
| ne perenni cremer igne. |
| Inter oves locum praesta |
| et ab haedis me sequestra, |
| statuens in parte dextra. |
| Confutatis maledictis |
| flammis acribus addictis, |
| voca me cum benedictis. |
| Oro supplex et acclinis |
| cor contritum quasi cinis, |
| gere curam mei finis. |
| Lacrimosa dies illa |
| qua resurget ex favilla |
| judicandus homo reus. |
| Huic ergo parce, Deus, |
| pie Jesu Domine, |
| dona eis requiem. |
| Amen. |
| (translation) |
| That day is a day of wrath |
| Earth in ashes |
| by the testimony of David and the Sibyl |
| How a tremor is |
| when will the judge come |
| briskly |
| The shrill sound of the trumpet |
| through the cemeteries |
| He will drive them all before the throne. |
| Death and nature will be stunned |
| When the creature rises |
| to answer to the one who judges |
| A written book will be produced |
| in which the whole is contained |
| whence the world will be judged |
| Then the judge shall sit |
| whatever lies hidden will appear |
| Nothing will remain unavenged |
| What I then say |
| whom the patron is going to ask |
| when the righteous is scarcely safe? |
| King of tremendous majesty, |
| save those who save freely |
| save me, fount of pity. |
| Remember, Merciful Jesus |
| that I am the cause of your journey |
| don't lose me that day. |
| You worked for me, you were tired; |
| redeemed me by suffering on the cross. |
| Let not such work be in vain. |
| Righteous Judge of revenge |
| make the gift of forgiveness |
| before the date of the account. |
| I sigh like a guilty |
| owning my face. |
| spare the supplicant, O God. |
| You absolved Mary |
| and you heard the robber |
| You have given me hope too. |
| My prayers are not worthy |
| but you, you freeman, treat me kindly |
| eternal fire. |
| Place among the sheep |
| and set apart me |
| placing in the right hand. |
| Doomed |
| searing flames |
| call me blessed. |
| I pray suppliantly and on my knees |
| broken heart like ashes |
| take care of my end. |
| Lacrimosa |
| rises from the ashes |
| to be judged. |
| Spare him then, O God |
| O, |
| Grant them eternal rest. |
| Amen. |
