Gaudeamus Igitur!

"Gaudeanus Igitur" is traditionally sung at the closing reception of the American Classical League's Summer Institute with Stan Farrow at the piano, and the rest of the delegates belting out this classic. If anyone has ACL video or latin class video of this, please post a reply here.

Here are the lyrics for those readers unfamiliar with the song:

Gaudeamus igitur
Juvenes dum sumus.
Post jucundam juventutem
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.

Let us rejoice therefore
While we are young.
After a pleasant youth
After the troubles of old age
The earth will have us.

Ubi sunt qui ante nos
In mundo fuere?
Vadite ad superos
Transite in inferos
Hos si vis videre.

Where are they
Who were in the world before us?
Go up to heaven
Or cross over into hell
If you wish to see them.

Vita nostra brevis est
Brevi finietur.
Venit mors velociter
Rapit nos atrociter
Nemini parcetur.

Our life is brief
It will be finished all too soon.
Death comes quickly
We are cruelly snatched away.
No one is spared.

Vivat academia!
Vivant professores!
Vivat membrum quodlibet
Vivant membra quaelibet
Semper sint in flore.

Long live the academy!
Long live the teachers!
Long live each student!
Long live all the students!
May they always flourish!

Vivant omnes virgines
Faciles, formosae.
Vivant et mulieres
Tenerae amabiles
Bonae laboriosae.

Long live the virgins
Easy and beautiful!
Long live mature women also,
Tender and lovable
And full of good labor.

Vivant et res publica
et qui illam regit.
Vivat nostra civitas,
Maecenatum caritas
Quae nos hic protegit.

Long live the state as well
And he who rules it!
Long live our city
[And] the charity of benefactors
Which protects us here!

Pereat tristitia,
Pereant osores.
Pereat diabolus,
Quivis antiburschius
Atque irrisores.

Let sadness perish!
Let haters perish!
Let the devil perish!
Let whoever is anti-student
Who laughs at us, perish!
