Original text and translations

Continuo lacrimas cantores, fundite fluxu,
nam periit vestri lausque decusque chori.
Est nimis inclemens vis ac violentia fati,
Quae tam clementi parcere dura negat.
Clementem tamen omnipotens Deus ipse juvabit
Ut mortem vincat, qui nece victus erat.

Cantus firmus: Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine
et lux perpetua luceat ei.

Pour out in a constant flow your tears, ye singers
for the praise and glory of your choir has departed.
All too inclement is the violence of Fate
which refuses to spare so clement a one harsh blows.
But all-powerful God Himself will help Clement
to conquer death, whom death has laid low.

Cantus firmus: Grant him eternal rest, Lord,
and may perpetual light shine upon him.
