From the best book in the world, "A to Z of Foreign Musical Terms"
by Christine Ammer, published byECS Publishing, Boston, MA.

Lagrimoso is defined as " (Sp.) Same as LACRIMOSO", which is further
defined, in another place, as "Mournful, tearful".

This one was trickier! The book lists "pochissimo", which is pretty
close, as "(It..) As little as possible"
