Dies Irae - Dies Illa
Kyrie Eleison
Yitgadal V' Yitkadash
I saw the movie Rent and was wondering if anyone could tell me what this means it is bugging me so much. Although I am not a big fan of the song La Vie Boheme.

Dies Irae ("Day of Wrath") is a famous thirteenth century Latin hymn
Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy!) in Greek
The 'yitgadal v'yitkadash' is the prayer which sanctifies the One who sits in the heavens and expresses the profound faith of the Jewish people, and the One who makes peace in the heavens.

Dies Irae Dies Illa is the name of a hymn
Kyrie Eleison I believe means Christ is alive, or Christ lives
and the last line I am unsure.
It is all latin, see if you can translate with the use of an online translation site.
