Lacrimosa
 |
The Lacrimosa is part of the Dies Irae sequence in the Requiem mass. Its text comes from the 18th and 19th stanzas of the sequence. Many composers, including Mozart, Berlioz, and Verdi have set the text as a discrete movement of the Requiem.
Latin Text
- Lacrimosa dies illa
- Qua resurget ex favilla
- Judicandus homo reus.
- Huic ergo parce, Deus:
- Pie Jesu Domine,
- Dona eis requiem. Amen.
English translation
- Tearful will be that day
- on which from the ashes will rise
- the guilty man for judgment.
- So have mercy, O Lord, on this man.

- grant them rest. Amen.
