dies irae (day of wrath)
by believer
libera me, domine, de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda,
quendo coeli movendi sunt et terra,
dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
(deliver me, Lord from eternal death,
on that dreadful day when heavens and earth
shall move, when you come to judge the
world through fire.)
tremens factus sum ego, et timeo, dum
discussio venerit at que ventura ira.
(i am made to tremble and to fear,
at the destruction that shall come,
and also at your coming wrath,
when heavens and earth shall move.)
dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et
miseriae, dies magna et amara valde,
dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
(that day, day of wrath, calamity and misery,
great and exceedingly bitter day, when you
come to judge the world through fire.)
requiem aeternam dona eis domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
(rest eternal, grant them, Lord,
and may perpetual light shine on them.)
