Rex tremendæ majestatis,
qui salvandos salvas gratis,
salva me, fons pietatis.
12
Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
culpa rubet vultus meus:
supplicanti parce, Deus.
1
Dies iræ! dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla
Teste David c** Sibylla!
King of tremendous Majesty,
who saves those-to-be-saved free,
save me, Fount of piety.
I groan, as the accused:
my face grows red from (my) fault:
spare (this) supplicant, O God.
Day of wrath, day that
will dissolve the world into burning coals,
as David bore witness with the Sibyl.
