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.
Cantus firmus: Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei.
English translation
by Mick SwithinbankO 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".
