Now I was going to put that text up on the board and, to be honest with you, I forgot to do that, so I'm going to have to see if I can remember this text: We're going to focus now on two sections of this work: the "Confutatis" And the "Lacrimosa dies illa."

现在我将要把歌词写在黑板上,老实跟你们说,我刚才忘了这么做,所以我得看看自己是否还记得歌词,我们将专注于这部作品的两个部分,《羞惭无地》和《落泪之日》
