Libera me

(Sung text for setting by B. Britten)

See original

Language: Latin

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE GER

Libera me, Domine, 
de morte æterna 
in die illa tremenda,
quando cœli movendi sunt et terra;
dum veneris iudicare 
sæculum per ignem.

Tremens factus sum ego, 
et timeo, 
dum discussio venerit 
atque ventura ira.
 
Dies illa, dies iræ, 
calamitatis et miseriæ,
dies magna et amara valde.
 
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Verlos mij, Heer (Libera me)

(Sung text translation for setting by B. Britten)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Latin

Verlos mij, Heer, 
van de eeuwige dood 
op die schrikwekkende dag,
Wanneer de hemelen en de aarde bewogen zullen worden;
Wanneer gij de wereld zult komen 
oordelen door het vuur.
 
Beving heeft mij aangegrepen, 
en ik ben angstig,
Voor het naderend oordeel 
en de komende toorn.
 
Dag van toorn, 
van rampspoed en ellende,
Grote dag vol bitterheid.
 
Schenk hun de eeuwige rust, Heer;
En moge het blijvende licht hen verlichten.
