Lyrics
The song of the sibyl
Original catalan version Al jorn del judici Parra' qui haura' fet servici
Un rei vendra' perpetual Vestit de nostra carn mortal; Del cel vindra' tot certament Per fer del segle jutjament
Ans que el judici no sera' Un gran senyal se mostrara': Lo sol perdra' lo resplendor La terra tremira' de por
Apre's se badara' molt fort Amostrant-se de greu conhort; Mostrar-se han ab crits I trons Les infernals confusions
Del cel gran foc davallara' Com a sofre molt pudira'; La terra cremara' ab furor La gent haura' molt gran terror
Apre's sera' un fort senyal D'un terratre'mol general; Les pedres per mig se rompran I les muntanyes se fondran
Llavors ningu' tindra' talent D'or, riqueses ni argent Esperant tots quina sera' La sente'ncia que es dara'
De morir seran tots sos talents Esclafir-los han totes les dents; No hi haura' home que no plor Tot lo mo'n sera' en tristor
Los puigs I plans seran iguals Alli seran los bons I mals Reis, ducs, comtes I barons Que de llurs fets retran raons
Apre's vindra' terriblement Lo fill de de'u omnipotent; De morts I vius judicara': Qui be' haura' fet alli es parra'
Los infants qui nats no seran Dintre ses mares cridaran I diran tots plorosament: "Ajuda'ns, de'u omnipotent"
Mare de de'u, pregau per no's Puix so'u mare de pecadors Que bona sente'ncia hajam I paradis possejam
Vosaltres tots qui escoltau Devotament a de'u pregau De cor ab gran devocio' Que us porte a salvacio'

The song of the sibyl
English translation of original catalan version An eternal king will come Dressed in our mortal flesh: He will come from heaven certainly To pass judgement on the century
Before judgement is passed A great sign will show itself: The sun will lose its shine The earth will tremble with fear
After will come mighty thunder A sign of great wrath: In an infernal confusion Lightning and cries will resound
A great fire will come down from heaven In a stink of sulphur And the earth will burn furiously And great terror will afflict people
After will come the terrible signal Of a great earthquake As rocks shatter And mountains collapse
Then no-one will have pieces of gold Silver or riches And everyone will await The sentence
Death will leave them without a penny And will crush them all: There will remain only men in tears And sadness will cover the world
The plains and peaks will be all the same Good and evil will reach them both Kings, dukes, counts and barons Will have to account for their actions
And then will come impressively The son of god omnipotent He will judge the dead and the living The good will go to heaven
Children not yet born Will cry from their mother's wombs And with the crying say: "Help us, god, omnipotent"
Mother of god, pray for us You, the mother of sinners May the sentence be merciful May paradise be open to us
You, who listen to everything Pray god with all devotion With all your heart and fervour That we should be saved
