The Song of the Sibyl

The Song of the Sibyl

The Song of the Sibyl

On the day of judgmentAl jorn del judici
For those who have servedParrá qui haurá fet servici

A king will come eternallyUn rei vendrá perpetual
Clothed in our mortal fleshVestit de nostra carn mortal
From heaven he will certainly comeDel cel vindrá tot certament
To judge the agePer fer del segle jutjament

Before the judgment is givenAns que el judici no será
A great sign will appearUn gran senyal se mostrará
The sun will lose its brightnessLo sol perdrá lo resplendor
The earth will tremble with fearLa terra tremirá de por

Afterwards, a great noise will be heardAprés se badará molt fort
Showing serious comfortAmostrant-se de greu conhort
There will be cries and thunderMostrar-se han ab crits i trons
Infernal confusions will be shownLes infernals confusions

From heaven great fire will fallDel cel gran foc davallará
Causing much sufferingCom a sofre molt pudirá
The earth will burn furiouslyLa terra cremará ab furor
People will be in great terrorLa gent haurá molt gran terror

Then there will be a strong signAprés será un fort senyal
Of a general earthquakeD'un terratrémol general
The stones will break apartLes pedres per mig se rompran
And the mountains will meltI les muntanyes se fondran

Then no one will have the talentLlavors ningù tindrá talent
For gold, riches, or silverD'or, riqueses ni argent
Everyone will be waitingEsperant tots quina será
For the sentence that will be givenLa senténcia que es dará

All their talents will be taken awayDe morir seran tots sos talents
All their teeth will be crushedEsclafir-los han totes les dents
There will be no man who does not cryNo hi haurá home que no plor
The whole world will be in sorrowTot lo mo'n será en tristor

The hills and plains will be the sameLos puigs i plans seran iguals
There the good and bad will beAlli seran los bons i mals
Kings, dukes, counts, and baronsReis, ducs, comtes i barons
Will be judged for their deedsQue de llurs fets retran raons

Afterwards, terribly will comeAprés vindrá terriblement
The son of the almightyLo fill de de'u omnipotent
He will judge the dead and the livingDe morts i vius judicará
Those who have done well will be separatedQui be' haurá fet alli es parrá

The infants who were not bornLos infants qui nats no seran
Will cry within their mothersDintre ses mares cridaran
And they will all say sorrowfullyI diran tots plorosament
"Help us, almighty God""Ajuda'ns, de'u omnipotent"

Mother of God, pray for usMare de de'u, pregau per no's.
Since you are the mother of sinnersPuix so'u mare de pecadors
May we have a good sentenceQue bona senténcia hajam
And possess paradiseI paradis possejam

All of you who listenVosaltres tots qui escoltau
Devoutly pray to GodDevotament a de'u pregau
With great devotion in your heartsDe cor ab gran devocio'
May He lead you to salvationQue us porte a salvacio
