Latin text

Hei mihi, Domine,
quia peccavi nimis in vita mea:
quid faciam miser, ubi fugiam,
nisi ad te, Deus meus?

Responsum
Miserere mei, dum veneris
in novissimo die.

Versus
Anima mea turbata est valde:
sed tu Domine succurre ei.

Portuguese translation

Ai de mim, Senhor,
pois pequei excessivamente em minha vida:
Miserável que sou! Que farei, para onde fugirei,
senão para diante de Ti, ó meu Deus?

Responsum
Tem misericórdia de mim, quando vieres
no último dos dias.

Versus
Minh'alma está muitíssimo conturbada:
mas socorre-me, Senhor!

English translation

Woe is me, o Lord, for I have
sinned exceedingly in my life:
Miserable, what shall I do, to which place
shall I flee, if not before Thee, my God?

Responsum
Have mercy on me when Thou shalt come
at the latter of all days.

Versus
My soul is greatly troubled;
intercede upon me, o Lord!
