The Song of the Sibyl

Al jorn del judici
Parrá qui haurá fet servici

Un rei vendrá perpetual
Vestit de nostra carn mortal
Del cel vindrá tot certament
Per fer del segle jutjament

Ans que el judici no será
Un gran senyal se mostrará
Lo sol perdrá lo resplendor
La terra tremirá de por

Aprés se badará molt fort
Amostrant-se de greu conhort
Mostrar-se han ab crits i trons
Les infernals confusions

Del cel gran foc davallará
Com a sofre molt pudirá
La terra cremará ab furor
La gent haurá molt gran terror

Aprés será un fort senyal
D′un terratrémol general
Les pedres per mig se rompran
I les muntanyes se fondran

Llavors ningù tindrá talent
D'or, riqueses ni argent
Esperant tots quina será
La senténcia que es dará

De morir seran tots sos talents
Esclafir-los han totes les dents
No hi haurá home que no plor
Tot lo mo′n será en tristor

Los puigs i plans seran iguals
Alli seran los bons i mals
Reis, ducs, comtes i barons
Que de llurs fets retran raons

Aprés vindrá terriblement
Lo fill de de'u omnipotent
De morts i vius judicará
Qui be' haurá fet alli es parrá

Los infants qui nats no seran
Dintre ses mares cridaran
I diran tots plorosament
"Ajuda′ns, de′u omnipotent"

Mare de de'u, pregau per no′s.
Puix so'u mare de pecadors
Que bona senténcia hajam
I paradis possejam

Vosaltres tots qui escoltau
Devotament a de′u pregau
De cor ab gran devocio'
Que us porte a salvacio

The Song of the Sibyl

In the day of judgment
You will see who has done service

A king will come forever
Dressed in our mortal flesh
He will come from heaven truly
To judge the world

Before the judgment there shall be
A great sign that will appear
The sun will lose its brightness
The earth will tremble with fear

The grave will open violently
Showing itself with heavy sighs
The infernal confusion
Will be revealed with cries and thunder

A great fire will descend from heaven
It will stink like sulfur
The earth will burn with fury
People will be very terrified

Then there will be a great sign
Of a general earthquake
The stones will break in two
And the mountains will melt

Then no one will have the desire
For gold, riches or silver
Waiting for the sentence
That will be given

Their talents will be useless
All their teeth will chatter
There will be no one who will not weep
The whole world will be in sorrow

The valleys and plains will be equal
There will be the good and the bad
Kings, dukes, counts and barons
Who will give account of their deeds

Then will come terribly
The son of God omnipotent
He will judge the living and the dead
Those who have done well will be there

The unborn children
Will cry within their mothers
And they will all say tearfully
"Help us, omnipotent God"

Mother of God, pray for us
Since you are the mother of sinners
That we may have a good sentence
And possess paradise

All of you who listen
Pray to God devoutly
With a great heart
That he may lead you to salvation
