Pie Jesu (from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Requiem’)
Pie Jesu, pie Jesu.
Pie Jesu, pie Jesu.
Qui tollis pecata mundi,
Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem.
Pie Jesu, pie Jesu. Pie Jesu, pie Jesu. Qui tollis pecata mundi, Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem. Agnus dei, agnus dei. Agnus dei, agnus dei. Qui tollis pecata mundi, Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem. Dona eis requiem, Dona eis requiem, Sempiternam, sempiternam requiem.
Translation:
Merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus.
Merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus.
You who take away the sins of the world,
Grant them rest, grant them rest.
Merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus.
Merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus.
You who take away the sins of the world,
Grant them rest, grant them rest.
Lamb of God, lamb of God.
Lamb of God, lamb of God.
You who take away the sins of the world
Grant them rest, grant them rest.
Grant them rest,
Grant them rest,
Everlasting, everlasting rest.
