This (below) is the 'Dies Irae' portion of Mozart's Requiem. What does it say?

I'm looking for an English translation of the Latin. (I've always wondered what it was saying.)

III. Sequence
1. Dies irae
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus,
quando judex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus!

Day of wrath, day of anger
will dissolve the world in ashes,
as foretold by David and the Sibyl.
Great trembling there will be
when the Judge descends from heaven
to examine all things closely.

How that helps, check out the source for the rest!
