Gaudeamus igitur

1. |: Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus; :|
Post jucundam juventutem,
Post molestam senectutem
|: Nos habebit humus! :|

2. |: Vita nostra brevis est,
Brevi finietur, :|
Venit mors velociter,
Rapit nos atrociter,
|: Nemini parcetur. :|

3. |: Ubi sunt qui ante
Nos in mundo fuere? :|
Vadite ad superos,
Transite ad inferos,
|: Hos si vis videre. :|

4. |: Vivat academia,
Vivant professores, :|
Vivat membrum quodlibet,
Vivant membra quaelibet,
|: Semper sint in flore! :|

5. |: Vivant omnes virgines
Faciles, formosae, :|
Vivant et mulieres,
Tenerae, amabiles,
|: Bonae, laboriosae! :|

6. |: Vivat et respublica
Et qui illam regit, :|
Vivat nostra civitas,
Maecenatum caritas,
|: Quae nos hic protegit! :|

7. |: Pereat tristitia,
Pereant osores, :|
Pereat diabolus,
Quivis antiburschius,
|: Atque irrisores! :|

well, German accent may be OK, but this ... the vowels are really too short/fast, and everything's been pronounced too harsh and there's too much stakkato instead of melodious voice, even for German standards. This is NOT a military marching song.

@Astrocship It's a German song in Modern Latin language. Modern Latin was learned at university because it was the official administrative language of the Holy Roman Empire (Sacrum Romanum Imperium). In other words a German "accent" is correct, another accent is not.

@dlugasov

Still better than an american or english accent with this song.

@Astrocship Totally agree with you! German shouldn't sing anything. It's unbearable!

[SuperPommern]
