Libera me, Domine

Baritone Solo:
Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna,
in die illa tremenda, in die illa.
Quando cœli movendi sunt,
quando cœli movendi sunt et terra.
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
 
Choir:
Tremens, tremens factus sum ego,
et timeo, dum discussio venerit
at que ventura ira.
 
Dies illa, dies iræ,
calamitatis et miseriæ.
Dies illa, dies magna
et amara, amara valde.
 
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis, luceat eis.
 
Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna,
in die illa tremenda, in die illa.
Quando cœli movendi sunt,
quando cœli movendi sunt et terra.
Dum veneris judicare sæculum per ignem.
 
Baritone Solo:
Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna.
libera me, Domine.
 
Translation

Free me, Lord

Free me, Lord, from eternal death,
on that terrible day, on that day.
When the skies are to be moved,
when the skies are to be moved, and the earth.
As you'll come to judge the aeon/world by fire.
 
Terrified, terrified I have been caused to become,
and I fear, as the tremor will come
and the rage is going to come.
 
That day, the day of rage,
danger and misery
That day, the great
and bitter, very bitter day.
 
Bestow us eternal rest, Lord,
and constant light may shine for them, may shine for them.
 
Free me, Lord, from eternal death,
on that terrible day, on that day.
When the skies are to be moved,
when the skies are to be moved, and the earth.
As you'll come to judge the aeon/world by fire.
 
Free me, Lord, from eternal death.
Free me, Lord.
