Original text and translations
Latin text
O mors inevitabilis, mors amara, mors crudelis,
Josquin des Prez dum necasti, illum nobis abstulisti
qui suam per harmoniam illustravit ecclesiam.
Propterea tu musice, dic, requiescat in pace.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
O ineluctable death, bitter death, cruel death,
when you killed Josquin Desprez
you took from us a man who, through his music,
adorned the church.
And therefore, O musician, say: May he rest in peace.
German translation
O unentrinnbarer Tod, bitterer Tod, grausamer Tod.
Indem du Josquin des Prez dahingerafft, hast du uns beraubt um den,
Der durch seine Harmonie die Kirche erleuchtet hat.
Deshalb, du Musiker, sprich: "Er möge ruhen in Frieden".
