Enmig de la nostra vida
 (Sung text translation for setting by W. Berger)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Enmig de la nostra vida
la mort ens envolta.
Qui podem albirar, que ens doni ajut,
que ens aconsegueixi el perdó?
Aquest ets tu, Senyor, només tu!
Ens penedim dels nostres pecats,
que a tu, Senyor, t’han fet enutjar.

Senyor Déu Sant!
Déu Sant totpoderós!
Sant, misericordiós Salvador, tu Déu etern,
no ens deixis caure en dolorós l’infortuni de la mort! Kyrie eleison.
