Dona nobis pacem - Audrey Snyder

Translated into ASL by David Bar-Tzur

Created 26 December 2005, links updated monthly with the help of LinkAlarm.

EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

||: (3x) LORD WE PRAY TO YOU. :|| ||: (3x) GIVE-us US YOUR PEACE. :|| (Begin again.)


Notes: This song if very redundant. Sign slowly and repeat translation at will and expand on it ad lib. to avoid boring the Deaf audience. The hearing people have the tune to make it interesting.

The signs between "||:" and ":||" are to be repeated.

YOU - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

PEACE - Use the more elaborate sign that clasps hands one way and then the other.

Lyrics:

Dona nobis pacem. (8x) Grant us your peace. (3x) Dona nobis pacem (8-9x)
