Peccantem me quotidie,
et non me paenitentem,
timor mortis conturbat me:
Quia in inferno
nulla est redemptio,
miserere, miserere mei,
Deus, et salva me.

As I was sinning daily
And not repenting,
The fear of death disturbed me:
Because in hell
There is no redemption,
Have pity, have pity on me,
O God, and save me.
