Lacrimosa (Requiem) - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (lyrics) video free download

The Requiem Mass in D minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791, during the last year of the composer's life. 'Lacrimosa' is part of that Requiem Mass. Its melody was inspired by some of the deepest feelings in mankind's history and also delineates one of it's biggest fears: Death.

Lacrimosa dies illa

Qua resurget ex favilla

Judicandus homo reus.

Huic ergo parce, Deus:

Pie Jesu Domine,

Dona eis requiem. Amen.

Tearful that day,

on which will rise from ashes

guilty man for judgment.

So have mercy, Oh God, on this person.

Compassionate Lord Jesus,

grant them rest. Amen.
