Paroles et traduction Sting - Dies Irae

Dies Irae

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sybilla (cum Sybilla)

Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando iudex est venturus (cuncta stricte discussurus)
(Discussurus)

Tuba mirum spargens sonum (per sepulchra regionum)
Coget omnes ante thronum (ante thronum)

Mors stupebit et natura (cum resurget creatura)
Iudicanti responsura (responsura)

Rex tremendae maiestatis (qui salvandos salvas gratis)
Salva me, fons pietatis

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus (quem patronum rogaturus)
Cum vix iustus sit securus

Qui Mariam absolvisti (et latronem exaudisti)
Mihi quoque spem dedisti (spem dedisti)

Inter oves locum praesta et ab hoedis me sequestra
Statuens in parte dextra (dextra)

Recordare Iesu pie (quod sum causa tuae viae)
Ne me perdas illa die

Liber scriptus proferetur
In quo totum continetur
Unde mundus iudicetur

Oro supplex et acclinis
Cor contritum quasi cinis
Gere curam mei finis (mei finis)

Lacrimosa, lacrimosa
Lacrimosa dies illa (qua resurget ex favilla)
Iudicandus homo reus
Lacrimosa dies illa (qua resurget ex favilla)

Deus misericordia
Deus misericordia

Huic ergo parce, Deus (huic ergo parce, Deus)
Pie Iesu Domine (pie Iesu Domine)
Dona eis requiem (dona eis requiem)
Dona eis requiem (dona eis requiem)

Deus misericordia
Deus misericordia
Amen

Dies Irae

Day of wrath, that day
Shall dissolve the world in ashes
As David and the Sibyl witness (the Sibyl witness)

What trembling shall there be
When the judge shall come (to judge all strictly)
(To judge)

The trumpet, marvellously sounding (through the sepulchres of regions)
Shall gather all before the throne (before the throne)

Death shall be astonished, and nature (when the creature shall rise again)
To answer to the judge (to answer)

King of tremendous majesty (who savest them that are to be saved gratuitously)
Save me, o fountain of piety

What shall I, wretched one, then say (what patron shall I entreat)
When scarcely the just man is secure

Thou who didst absolve Mary (and didst hear the thief)
Thou hast also given me hope (given hope)

Among the sheep set my place and from the goats separate me
Setting me on the right hand (the right hand)

Remember, o pious Jesus (that I am the cause of thy way)
Lest thou lose me on that day

The written book shall be brought forth
In which all is contained
Whereby the world shall be judged

I pray, suppliant and bowed down
My heart contrite as ashes
Take care of my end (my end)

Tearful, tearful,
Tearful that day (wherein shall rise again from the ashes)
Man guilty to be judged
Tearful that day (wherein shall rise again from the ashes)

God of mercy
God of mercy

To this one then, pardon, o God (to this one then, pardon o God)
Pious Jesus, Lord (Pious Jesus, Lord)
Grant them rest (grant them rest)
Grant them rest (grant them rest)

God of mercy
God of mercy
Amen
