Lyrics: 

R.  Plange quasi virgo, plebs mea : ululáte, pastóres, in cínere et cilício : * Quia venit dies Dómini magna, et amára valde.
V.  Accíngite vos, sacerdótes, et plángite, minístri altáris, aspérgite vos cínere.
R.   Quia venit dies Dómini magna, et amára valde.
R.  Plange quasi virgo, plebs mea : ululáte, pastóres, in cínere et cilício : * Quia venit dies Dómini magna, et amára valde.

Translated Lyrics: 

R.  Lament like a virgin, O my people : cry and howl, O ye shepherds, in sackcloth and ashes : * For the day of the Lord is at hand, a great day, and exceeding bitter.
V.  Gird yourselves and lament, ye priests : howl, ye ministers of the altar : cast up ashes upon you.
R.  For the day of the Lord is at hand, a great day, and exceeding bitter.
R.  Lament like a virgin, O my people : cry and howl, O ye shepherds, in sackcloth and ashes : * For the day of the Lord is at hand, a great day, and exceeding bitter.
