Bibliotheca ~ Dreamer in the Library (Daguerreo, the Hermit's Library)
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.
