PROGRAM

Dona Nobis Pacem
Anonymous

Combined Cantilena & Cantare

Translation: Give Us Peace

I know about love the way the fields know about light,
the way the forest shelters us.

We are vulnerable like an infant.
We need each other’s care or we will suffer.
How will you ever find peace
unless you yield to love?

There are beautiful, wild forces within us.
Let them turn millstones inside
filling bushels that reach to the sky.

O wondrous creatures,
by what strange miracle
do you so often not smile?

My soul is a candle that burned away the veil;
only he glorious duties of light I now have.
The soul is a candle that will burn away the darkness;
only the glorious duties of love we will have.
Tenderly, I now touch all things,
knowing one day we will part.

What keeps us alive, what allows us to endure?
It is the hope of loving, of being loved.
We weep when light does not reach our hearts.
We wither like fields if someone close does not rain their kindness upon us.
My soul has a purpose,
it is to love.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
(Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord,)
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
(and let perpetual light shine upon them.)
Te decet hymnus, Deus in Sion,
(A hymn befits thee, O God in Zion.)
et tibi redetur votum in Jerusalem;
(and to thee a vow shall be fulfilled in Jerusalem.)
exaudi orationem meam,
(Hear my prayer,)
ad te omnis caro veniet.
(for unto thee all flesh shall come.)

(Lord God of Hosts.)
Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua.
(Heaven and earth are full of thy glory)
Hosanna in excelsis.
(Hosanna in the highest)

Lacrimosa dies illa
(O how tearful that day,)
Qua resurget ex favilla,
(on which the guilty shall rise)
Judicandus homo reus.
(from the embers to be judged.)
Huic ergo parce, Deus.
(Spare them then, O God.)
Pie Jesu Domine,
(Merciful Lord Jesus,)

Qui tollis peccata mundi,

Dona nobis pacem.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine
(May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord,)
Cum sanctis tuis in aeternum:
(in the company of thy saints forever and ever;)
quia pius es.
(for thou art merciful.)
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
(Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord,)
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
(and let perpetual light shine upon them.)

In paradisum deducant te Angeli;
(May the angels lead you into paradise;)
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,
(May the Martyrs welcome you upon your arrival,)
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem
(and lead you into the holy city of Jerusalem.)
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
(May a choir of angels welcome you,)
et cum Lazaro, quondam paupere,
(and, with poor Lazarus of old,)
aeternam habeas aeternam habeas requiem.
(may you have eternal rest.)
