Lyrics and translation Giuseppe Verdi, Luciano Pavarotti, Wiener Philharmoniker & Sir Georg Solti - Messa da Requiem: Ingemisco

Messa da Requiem: Ingemisco

Ingemisco tamquam reus,
Culpa rubet vultus meus,
Supplicanti, supplicanti parce, deus.

Qui mariam absolvisti
Et latronem exaudisti,

Mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.

Preces meae non sunt dignae;
Sed tu bonus fac benigne
Ne perenni cremer igne.

Inter oves locum praesta,
Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Inter oves locum praesta,
Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Statuens, statuens in parte dextra.
Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra

Requiem Mass: Ingemisco

I groan as one who is guilty,
My face blushes with guilt,
Spare me, God, a suppliant, I implore you.

You who absolved Mary
And heard the thief's plea,

You have also given me hope.
You have also given me hope.

My prayers are unworthy;
But you are good, do good
So that I may not burn in eternal fire.

Grant me a place among the sheep,
And separate me from the goats,
Grant me a place among the sheep,
And separate me from the goats,
Placing, placing me on the right hand.
And separate me from the goats,
Placing me on the right hand
