¶Lyrics / Text

'''1.''' Réquiem ætérnam dona eis, Dómine: et lux perpétua lúceat eis. Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion, et tibi reddétur votum in Jerúsalem: exáudi oratiónem meam, ad te caro omnis véniet. Requiem æternam dona (defunctis), Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis, (perpetua lux eis luceat!) Kyrie eleison! Christe eleison! Kyrie eleison! '''2. Prosa''' Dies iræ, dies illa, Solvet sæclum in favíllâ: Quantus tremor est futúrus, Quando judex est ventúrus! Teste David cum Sibyllâ. Cuncta stricte discussúrus! Tuba mirum spargens sonum Per sepúlcra regiónum, Coget omnes ante thronum. Mors stupébit et natúra, Cum resúrget creatúra, Judicánti responsúra. Liber scriptus proferétur, In quo totum continétur, Unde mundus judicétur. Judex ergo cum sedébit, Quidquid latet apparébit: Nil inúltum remanébit. '''3.''' Quid sum miser tunc dictúrus? Quem patrónum rogatúrus? Cum vix justus sit secúrus. [Rex treméndæ… moved to no. 4] (Recordáre Jesu pie, Quod sum causa tuæ viæ: Ne me perdas illâ die! Oro supplex et acclínis, Cor contrítum quasi cinis: Gere curam mei finis.)
