Mílle quingéntis vérum bis sex mínus ánnis
Vírgine progéniti lápsis ab orígine Chrísti,
Sicílides flérunt Múse, dum Fáta tulérunt
Hóbrecht Guillérmum, mágna probitáte decórum,

Cecílie ad féstum, qui Cecíliam peragrávit
Oram; ídem Orphéicum Músis Jácobum generávit.
Ergo dúlce mélos succentórum chórus álme
Cóncine ut ad célos sit vécta ánima
 et dáta pálme. Amen

Cantus firmus:
Réquiem aetérnam dóna éis, Dómine,
et lux perpétua lúceat éis.

English.png English translation

After fifteen hundred minus twice six years
passed since the birth of Christ, the Virgin's progeny,
Sicilian Muses wept as the Fates took away
Guillermus Obrecht, adorned with great worthiness,

On the feast of Cecilia, he who traveled thru the Cecilian
shore; the same begot the Orphic Jacob for the Muses.
Therefore a sweet song, gentle accompanying choir,
sing, that his soul may be carried to heaven
 and given the palm. Amen

Eternal rest grant them, O Lord,
and may perpetual light shine upone them.
