Requiem
Requiem consists of the songs "Dies Irae", "Lacrymosa" and "Sanctus"
from the album "Messa da Requiem" by Giuseppe Verdi
Dies irae, dies illa,
Solvert saeclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla
Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando judex est venturus,
Cuncta stricte discussurus!
Lacrymosa dies illa,
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem. Amen.
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus, Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tue. Hosanna in excelsis.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
Translation
Day of wrath and doom impending,
David's word with Sibyl's blending!
Heaven and earth in ashes ending!
Oh, what fear man's bosom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth!
Ah! that day of tears and mourning!
From the dust of earth returning,
Man for judgement must prepare him;
Spare, O God, in mercy spare him!
Lord, all pitying, Jesu blest,
Grant them Thine eternal rest. Amen.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord of Hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest!
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!
