Pie Iesu Domine
Dona Eis Requiem
It's actually a Latin phrase from the Catholic mass. The music will be very different, but those words crop up in Mozart and Verdi's Requiems, and Beethoven's, Mozart's and Haydn's masses (I know, I've sung all of them, and still have a quiet chuckle to myself whenever I see the words in my musical score)
Incidentally, one of my proudest moments was after a performance of the Verdi Requiem with the WA Symphony I got the entire bass section joining with me as we left the choir stalls and went backstage, chanting "Pie Iesu" and slapping our heads with our music folders...

The Monks sing "Pie Iesu Domine. Dona eis Requiem.” It is Latin for "Merciful Lord Jesus. Grant them rest" and is a phrase from the Catholic funeral mass.

The monks were chanting Pie Jesu domine, Dona eis requiem. *WHACK!!*
It's from the Requiem Mass. I saw "Spamalot" on Sat night and the monks were in the show...drove the audience nuts!

They are chanting a religious prayer, because they are a sect of monks that use self abuse as a type of prayer.
