This is a sacred contrafactum of Gombert's chanson Je prens en congie. Further, it is identical with the first part of the motet: Lugebat David Absalon.

The common motif of these three texts is that they are about the loss of a beloved person. Whereas, however, the chanson and Lugebat David Absalon is only about the pain from losing a beloved person, Tulerunt Dominum meum is only partly about Mary Magdalene's pain, since she receives good news from the angels about Jesus' resurrection.

Tulerunt Dominum meum et nescio ubi posuerunt eum.
Dicunt ei angeli: mulier, quid ploras?
Surrexit sicut dixit.
Praecedet vos in Galileam,
ibi eum videbitis.
Alleluia.

Cum ergo fleret, inclinavit se,
et perspexit in monumentum.
Et vidit duos angelos sedentes, qui dicunt ei:
Praecedet vos in Galileam,
ibi eum videbitis.
Alleluia.

They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.
The angels say unto her: woman, why do you weep?
He has risen, as he said he would,
and goes before you into Galilee.
There you will see him.
Alleluia.

And as she was weeping, she bowed,
and looked into the tomb.
And there she saw two angels, who said unto her:
He goes before you into Galilee.
There you will see him.
Alleluia.
