Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
teste David c** Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus,
quando judex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus!
day of wrath, day of anger
will dissolve the world in ashes,
as foretold by David and the Sibyl.
Great trembling there will be
when the Judge descends from heaven
to examine all things closely.
