: : Hallo, can anybody help me, please? : : I'm looking for the whole text (Latin) of Gesualdo's "Peccantem me cotidie" : : Thank you, sincerely : : Dario : --- : Here is the latin text for Carlo Gesualdo's motet "Peccantem me cotidie": : Peccantem me quotidie, et non me poenitentem, : Timor mortis conturbat me : Quia in inferno nulla est redemptio. : Miserere mei, Deus, et salva me. : --- : Translation: : Each day do I sin and yet not repent thereof. : The fear of death overwhelmeth me : For in Hell there is no redemption : Have pity on me, o God, and save me. : --- : Here is the original text Gesualdo used as his source. It is a responsory (from Office of the dead/3rd nocturn/7th lesson). He omitted the second part and used only the first one, thence the clification as "motet" rather than "responsory". : <Responsum> : Peccantem me cotidie et non penitentem : timor mortis conturbat me. : Quia in inferno nulla est redempcio : miserere mei deus et salva me. : <Versus> : Deus in nomine tuo salvum me : fac et in virtute libera me. : Quia in inferno. : --- : I hope this was helpful enough. : -Markus Nyman-
