Abeeeeeeeeo, cursu longoooo....

Now, this is really something for the musical connoisseurs of the lingua latina out there.

Sing the golden oldies. In Latin!

My favourites are "Silentio Sonante" and "Pons super amnem magnum".

I have been singing this song all day:



Abeo Cursu Longo

Ha, sarcinos composui.
Pro limina iam dubito t'expergefacere mod'ut loquar.
Atqui commutation' aestu,
me' oneraria vela ad Africum donabit denuo.

Ergo, me basia.
Me, dum absim, exspecta.
M'amplexa quasi coerceres.
Abeo, cursu longo.
Nescio quando reddibo, et nolo iam ire.

Et scortus sum saepissime.
Adulteravi saepe.
Scienda iam est nihil hoc ad rem.
Mens commorabitur in te, et ubicumqu'eam hoc eris.
Cum reddebo, pro gaudio canam.

Ergo, me basia.
Me, dum absim, exspecta.
M'amplexa quasi coerceres.
Abeo, cursu longo.
Nescio quando reddibo, et nolo iam ire.

Tace, puella, non defle.
Ultimum basium dona.
Oportet me surger'ireque.
Felicem die'exspecta qando non ibo denuo, et nunquam rursum audiebis haec:

Ergo, me basia.
Me, dum absim, exspecta.
M'amplexa quasi coerceres.
Abeo, cursu longo.
Nescio quando reddibo, et nolo iam ire.


Off to do some shopping now. A friend of mine invited me and another friend to a video night, I bet it will be a lot of fun!

*lol* That reminds be of Ms Boll-Wagner, my Latin teacher from ninth to eleventh grade. She'd sing "Bolle reiste jüngst zu Pfingsten", "Der Hut der hat drei Ecken", "Unsere Oma fäht im Hühnerstall Motorrad" and many other songs with us -- in Latin, of course. She'd translated them herself; it was always a lot of fun: us 17-year-olds standing in the classroom, singing "Terret avia autobirotans gallinas..." (autobiari = birari vehens automobili). She's also the genius who invented words like "telefonare" ;)
