What are the monks saying before they slap themselves in the head with the bibles? I would love to know what it is in Latin and the translation to English.
Thanks for the help!!

The monks are hitting themselves in the head with a board not a bible and the are chanting a latin canon. they are chanting "Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem" it means "Good Lord Jesus, give them rest"

The monks say "Pie Iesu Domine. Dona Eis Requiem" and according to the online translator it means" Piously lesu Lady. Votive offering OUT OF this Repose" If you can make any sense out of that good for you!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
One site translated it as:
Pie Iesu domine,
dona eis requiem
[hit your head with a board]
[repeat as needed]

Another says:
The language they are chanting is in Latin and the phrase is ...
"Pie Iesu Domine. Dona Eis Requiem." It means "Holy Lord Jesus.
Grant them rest." The phrases are included in many Catholic funeral
masses.
