CLASSICAL LATIN:
Antiquae paginae narrant fabulas de antiquis temporibus
Spei et virtutis... devotionis et amoris
[Chorus]
Hic ego sedeo et somnio de futuris
Nonne scribent de me etiam
Ego etiam cupio recreari et amari
Diu post mortem meam
Sola guttula in lacu temporis
Perveniat litora nostrorum progeniorum
In navibus factis de chartaque atramento
Ego iterum navigabo ad illa tempora
Antiquae paginae narrant fabulas de antiquis temporibus
Mea manus moratur super antiquos versus tamen nihil reddit
[Chorus]
Sola guttula in lacu temporis
Perveniat litora nostrorum progeniorum
In navibus factis de chartaque atramento
Ego iterum navigabo ad illa tempora
Hic ego sedeo et somnio de futuris
Nonne scribent de me etiam
Ego etiam cupio recreari et amari
Diu post mortem meam
Et amari diu post mortem meam
ENGLISH:
Ancient pages tell tales from long ago.
Hope and bravery... devotion and love
[Chorus]
Here I sit and dream of the future.
Will they write about me too?
I too want to be remembered and loved
long after my death.
A single drop of water in the lake of time
may reach the shores of our descendants.
On ships made of parchment and ink
I will sail back to those times.
Ancient pages tell tales from long ago.
My fingers graze over the aged lines but leave behind no trace.
[Chorus]
A single drop of water in the lake of time
may reach the shores of our descendants.
On ships made of parchment and ink
I will sail back to those times.
Here I sit and dream of the future.
Will they write about me too?
I too want to be remembered and loved
long after my death.
And loved long after my death.
