Original text and translations

Latin text

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem:
exaudi orationem meam,
ad te omnis caro veniet.

Danish translation

Giv dem den evige hvile, o Herre,
og lad det evige lys skinne for dem.
Dig, o Gud, tilkommer lovsang på Zion,
og dig skal løftet gives i Jerusalem;
hør min bøn,
til dig skal alt kød komme.

English translation

Give them eternal rest, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them.
There will be songs of praise to you in Zion,
and prayers in Jerusalem.
O hear my prayers;
all flesh returns to you.

German translation

Herr, gib ihnen die ewige Ruhe
und das ewige Licht leuchte ihnen.
O Gott, dir gebührt ein Loblied in Sion,
dir erfülle man sein Gelübde in Jerusalem;
erhöre mein Gebet,
zu dir kommt alles Fleisch.

Portuguese translation

O descanso eterno dê a eles, Senhor,
e que a luz perpetua os ilumine.
A Ti convém hinos, oh Deus, em Sião
e para Ti promessas são feitas em Jerusalém.
Ouça minha oração;
que chegue para junto de Ti toda a carne.

Dutch translation

Geef hen de eeuwige rust, Heer,
en dat het eeuwige licht hen verschijnen moge.
U komt de lofzang toe, o Heer, in Sion,
en gebeden uit Jeruzalem.
Verhoor mijn smeekgebed,
want alle vlees keer naar U terug.

French translation

Seigneur, donnez-leur le repos éternel,
et faites luire pour eux la lumière sans déclin.
Dieu, c'est en Sion qu'on chante dignement vos louanges ;
à Jérusalem on vient vous offrir des sacrifices.
Écoutez ma prière,
Vous, vers qui iront tous les mortels.

Italian translation

L'eterno riposo dona loro, Signore,
e splenda ad essi la luce perpetua.
Si innalzi un inno a te, o Dio, in Sion,
a te si sciolga il voto in Gerusalemme;
esaudisci la mia preghiera,
a te viene ogni mortale.

Spanish translation

Dales Señor, el eterno descanso,
y que la luz perpetua los ilumine, Señor.
En Sión cantan dignamente tus alabanzas.
En Jerusalén te ofrecen sacrificios.
Escucha mis plegarias,
Tú, hacia quien van todos los mortales.
