Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet.
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
A hymn becometh thee, O God, in Zion,
and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
Hear my prayer: to thee all flesh shall come.
