How to translate this sentence, about the Kyrie eleison in the Liturgy?

Conte,
It is talking about the 100 Kirie Eleysons said on Good Friday.

Thanks. My problem was to understand the meaning of "bel-saghîr" and "damgan" when they are combined together

Briefly,
"damgan" = fast tune (basically recitative as near as the speed you read something out) - "belsaghir" = Arabic for short
Oujai qen `P=[=c
