Mea Culpa Lyrics
O mi jesu, demitte nobis debita nostra,
salva nos ab igne inferiori, perduc in caelum
Omnes animas, praesertim eas,
quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent
Sicut erat in principio
et nunc et semper et insaecula
saeculorum
Latin to English:
Mea Culpa -> "My Fault"
O my jesus,
you all having fallen to us in our debt
saved us from the fire of hell, each lead into heaven
all animals, especially them
Who require sympathy from you especially
just as he has been in principle
and now both always and forever
of the ages
salva nos ab igne inferiori, perduc in caelum
Omnes animas, praesertim eas,
quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent
et nunc et semper et insaecula
saeculorum
Mea Culpa -> "My Fault"
you all having fallen to us in our debt
saved us from the fire of hell, each lead into heaven
all animals, especially them
Who require sympathy from you especially
and now both always and forever
of the ages

Is there anyone who knows where I can find the translation of this, or who can translate it for me? thnx!
After doing some searching, I discovered that the lyrics of this song are actually part of the traditional Rosary. 'Mea Culpa' means 'My Fault' in Latin (in the sense of 'I am to blame'). The song translates to something like this:
Oh my Jesus, dismiss our debts/guilts save us from the fire below, lead to heaven all souls, especially those, who need your mercy the most
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, forever and ever
