Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.

Huic ergo parce, Deus,
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem.

Weeping

Full of tears will be that day
on which once more will rise from the ash
a guilty man to face the judgement.

Therefore, God, spare this man.
Merciful Lord Jesus
Grant them rest.
