eLatin eGreek eLearn

More wired than a Roman Internet café

I received a very unusual request a couple of days ago to translate a song by Madonna into singable, rhyming Latin! Apparently, there's a group that wants to render it into a Gregorian chant. Anyway, this is my first-ever PAID song translation, and I need to have it ready by Friday (tomorrow). I'd like to get some peer review so I can make sure it's at least decent before I send it in, so please let me know what you think!

ORIGINAL

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine

You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine

Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?

LATINE CANIBILITER

Istam silvam tolerāvī.
Dē illā ēmersī.
Nēsciēbam mē perditam
Dum tē cognovī.

Tam imperfecta eram
Ut tunc mē vinceret dolor.
Sed mē renovastī.
Ā tē moveor...

Sīcut virgō
Intimō tactō primō,
Sīcut virgō
Cum affluit cor mī cum tuō.

Omnem amorem tī dō,
Dēficit mī fidēs.
Sōlus amor dūrābit,
Hunc conservō prō tē.

Pulcher es, meus es.
Mī das vīm, fortis iam fiō.
Amore tuō
Ō, amore tuō,
Gelū tunc liquescit.

Sīcut virgō
Intimō tactō primō,
Sīcut virgō
Cum affluit cor mī cum tuō.

Pulcher es, meus es.
Sēcūrē erō tua semper.
Ita mī nōn est
Occulendum nīl.
Ā tē moveor...

Sīcut virgō
Intimō tactō primō,
Sīcut virgō
Cum affluit cor mī cum tuō.

Sēnsus bonus est
Ā tē tangī et amārī cordī tōtō.

Palpitat mī cor nunc.
Id audīsne sīc tū?

Thanks!
