Original text and translations
Latin
Emendemus in melius
quae ignoranter peccavimus:
ne subito praeoccupati
die mortis quaeramus
spatium paenitentiae,
et invenire non possimus.
Attende Domine, et miserere:
quia peccavimus tibi.
Tenor: Memento, homo, quia pulvis es
et in pulverem reverteris.

Let us change for the better
the sins we have thoughtlessly committed:
lest we in sudden concern
on the day of our death
seek a space for repentance
and cannot find one.
Hear us, Lord, and have mercy on us:
for we have sinned against you.
Tenor: Remember, man, that you are dust
and to dust you will return.
