Paroles et traduction Luciano Pavarotti - Messa da Requiem – "Ingemisco"

Messa da Requiem – "Ingemisco"

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 haedis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.

Requiem Mass – "Ingemisco"

I groan, like a guilty man, my love;
Guilt reddens my face, my darling;
Spare a supplicant, O God, my sweet.
You who absolved Mary, my dear,
And heard the thief, my love,
Have given me hope too, my beautiful.
My prayers are not worthy, my queen,
But you, good one, act kindly, my precious,
Lest I burn in eternal fire, my love.
Grant me a place among the sheep, my darling,
And separate me from the goats, my sweet,
Placing me on the right hand, my beautiful.
