Ingemisco

I Sigh

Ingemisco

I sigh as if guilty,Ingemisco tamquam reus,
My face blushes with guilt,Culpa rubet vultus meus,
To the supplicant, spare, spare, god.Supplicanti, supplicanti parce, deus.

You who absolved MaryQui mariam absolvisti
And heard the thief,Et latronem exaudisti,
You also gave me hope.Mihi quoque spem dedisti.
You also gave me hope.Mihi quoque spem dedisti.

My prayers are not worthy;Preces meae non sunt dignae;
But you, good, act kindlySed tu bonus fac benigne
Lest I be consumed by eternal fire.Ne perenni cremer igne.

Grant me a place among the sheep,Inter oves locum praesta,
And separate me from the goats,Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Grant me a place among the sheep,Inter oves locum praesta,
And separate me from the goats,Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Placing, placing on the right side.Statuens, statuens in parte dextra.
And separate me from the goats,Et ab haedis me sequestra,
Placing on the right side.Statuens in parte dextra.
