Wyoming Catholic College: "Barbara" Official Music Video

This is perhaps the First Latin "Music Video" in the world. Produced at Wyoming Catholic College in Lander, WY, this original song and lyrics were written and composed by Tony Bonse, '11. The movie was filmed, directed, and edited by Benjamin Block. '11. Kate Harrison, '11 is the lead female vocal. Travis Dziad, '13 and Megan Oborny, '11, play the Roman soldier and Barbara (respectively, of course). Special thanks to Joseph Spiering, '11, for his help throughout and for acting as the King of the Barbarians. Also special thanks to Dr. Mortensen and Magistra, without whom, none of this could ever have happened... The lyrics for the song can be found below:

In nigra silva, ambulabam
Inter arbores, vidi feminam.
Quam feminam--quam feminam vidi?
O non! Ea est ex populo Germanico.
Amo feminam Germanicam!
Eius nomen est...Barbara. (Barbara...Barbara...Barbara...Barbara...Barbara...)

Bar bar bar bar bar bar, bar bar bar bar bar, bar bar bar bar Barbara. (Barbara)
Bar bar bar bar bar bar, bar bar bar bar bar, bar bar bar bar bar bar Barbara.

Nescio lingua Germanica
Ergo non possum dicere...
Sed meum cor loquitur...
Pro me...et dixit:

Bar bar bar...etc.

Ea intelligit verba mea,
Et ea quoque dixit mihi
Et ea dixit:

Bar bar bar etc...

Etsi non loquimur
Eadem lingua,
Possum amoris loqui lingua;
Et lingua est:

Bar bar bar etc.
Barbara.

Nice song :) haha i really like it lol, but as i recall the C is pronounced as a K in latin. The S sound which is common in neo and post latin wasn't used in the time of the gold latin, the latin which is taught in schools etc. The italians use the S sound to pronounce the C in italian, and also the vatican uses the S for latin, but the right way is actually a K sound.

@Gezaa075 Thank you for your comment. Unlike many other educational institutions, at Wyoming Catholic College, Latin is taught as a spoken language, and therefore we use the ecclesiastical pronunciation, which is the most recent and current pronunciation of spoken Latin--since the Vatican is one of the few places to have preserved Latin as a spoken language in unbroken succession. Since this is a modern video, it only makes sense for it to use the current pronunciation of spoken Latin. Thanks!

"aquellos maravillosos 70 antes de cristo" (that 70's B.C. Show). Try looking for that. It's the first latin sitcom ever
