Günter Kehr Requiem in D Minor, K. 626 Lachrymosa Lyrics

Dies Irae

Dies irae, dies illa,
solvet saeclum in favilla,
teste David c__ Sybilla.

Quantus tremor est futurus,
quando judex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus.

This day, this day of wrath
shall consume the world in ashes,
as foretold by David and the Sybil.

What trembling there shall be
when the judge shall come
to weigh everything strictly.

Rex Tremendae

Rex, Rex tremendae majestatis,
qui salvandos salvas gratis,
Salva me!
Salva me, fons pietatis!

King of awful majesty,
you freely save those worthy of salvation,
save me!
Save me, fount of piety.

VI. Recordare

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 hoedis me sequestra
statuens in parte dextra.

Remember, gentle Jesus,
that I am the reason for your time on earth,
do not cast me out on that day.

Seeking me, you sank down wearily,
you have saved me by enduring the cross,
such travail must not be in vain.

Righteous judge of vengeance,
award the gift of forgiveness
before the day of reckoning.

I groan, like the sinner that I am,
guilt reddens my face.
O God, spare the supplicant.
You, who pardoned Mary
and heeded the thief,
have given me hope as well.

My prayers are unworthy,
but you, who are good, in pity
do not let me burn in the eternal fire.

Give me a place among the sheep
and separate me from the goats,
let me stand at your right hand.

VII. Confutatis

Confutatis maledictis,
flammis acribus addictis

Voca, voca me c__ benedictis.

Confutatis maledictis,
flammis acribus addictis.

Oro supplex et acclinis,
cor contritum quasi cinis.
Gere curam, gere curam mei finis!

When the d___ed are cast away,
and consigned to the searing flames,

call me to be with the blessed.

When the d___ed are cast away,
and consigned to the searing flames,

Bowed down in supplication I beg you,
my heart as though ground to ashes,
help me in my last hour.

VIII. Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa dies illa,
qua resurget ex favilla
judicandus home reus.

Huic ergo parce, Deus,
pie Jesu, Jesu Domine!
Dona eis, eis requiem!
Amen.
This day full of tears
when from the ashes arises
guilty man, to be judged:

Lord, have mercy upon him.
Gentle Lord Jesus,
grant them rest.
Amen.

IV. Offertorium
Domine Jesu

Domine Jesu Christe,
Rex gloriae, Rex gloriae!
Libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum
de poenis inferni,
et de profundo lacu.
Libera eas de ore leonis!

Ne absorbeat eas tartarus,
ne cadant in obscurum:
Sed signifer, sanctus Michael,
repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam,
quam olim Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus, et semini ejus.

Lord Jesus Christ,
King of glory,
Deliver the souls of all the faithful departed
from the pains of hell
and from the depths of the pit.
Deliver them from the mouth of the lion,

lest hell engulf them,
lest they fall into darkness;
but let the holy standard-bearer Michael
bring them into the holy light,
as once you promised to Abraham
and to his seed.

Hostias

Hostias et preces tibi, Domine,
tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus;
tu suscipe pro animabus illis,
quarum hodie memoriam facimus.

Fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam,
quam olim Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus.

Lord, in praise we offer you
sacrifices and prayers:
accept them on behalf of those souls
whom we remember this day:

Lord, make them pass from death to life,
as once you promised to Abraham
and to his seed.

V. Sanctus

Sanctus, sanctus Dominus,
Deus Sabaoth!
Pleni sunt coeli et terra,
gloria, gloria tua.

Osanna in excelsis!

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God of hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest!

VI. Benedictus

Benidictus, qui venit in nomine Domini,
qui venit in nomine Domini.

Osanna in excelsis, in excelsis!

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest!

VII. Agnus Dei

Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem!

Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi,
dona eis requiem sempiternam!

Lamb of God,
you take away the sins of the world,
grant them rest.

Lamb of God,
you take away the sins of the world,
grant them eternal rest.

VIII. Communio

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine!
c__ sanctis tuis in aeternam: quia pius es.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,
c__ sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.

Requiem aeternam dona, dona eis,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

c__ sanctis tuis in aeternum,

Quia pius es.

May eternal light shine upon them,
with your saints for ever: for you are compassionate.

May eternal light shine upon them,
with your saints for ever,
for you are compassionate.

Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and may eternal light shine upon them,

with your saints for ever,

for you are compassionate.
