Dies Illa

Dies irae, dies illa

Day of wrath, that day

Solvet saeclum in favilla,

Will dissolve the earth in ashes

Teste David cum Sibylla.

As David and the Sibyl bear witness.

Quantus tremor est futurus

What dread there will be

Quando judex est venturus

When the Judge shall come

Cuncta stricte discussurus.

To judge all things strictly.

Dies Irae

Dies Illa

That day

Dies Irae

Tuba mirum spargens sonum

A trumpet, spreading a wondrous sound

Per sepulcra regionum

Through the graves of all lands,

Coget omnes ante thronum.

Will drive mankind before the throne.

Mors slopebit et natora

Death and Nature shall be astonished

Cum resurget creatura

When all creation rises again

Judicanti responsura

To answer to the Judge.

Liber scriptus proferetur

A book, written in, will be brought forth

In quo totum continetur,

In which is contained everything that is,

Unde mundus judicetur.

Out of which the world shall be judged.

Dies Irae

Judex ergo cum sedebit

When therefore the Judge takes His seat

Quidquid latet apparebit,

Whatever is hidden will reveal itself.

Nil inultum remanebit.

Nothing will remain unavenged.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus,

What then shall say, wretch that I am,

Quem patronum togaturus,

What advocate entreat to speak for me,

Cum vix justus sit securus?

When even the righteous may hardly be secure ?
