Here are the Latin lyrics written down, for anyone curious, and my attempt at translation for them: ------------------------------------------- Absolutio Absoluta Absolutissime ------------------------------------------- ultio irae ratio tuae Quo vadis pater? Ecce, luna rubra orta erat! Noctem exsanguem rubefecit, nemo nisi innocentes domire potest Sors mors est velata, ac sic somnia servabo liberorum (Num unam tantum benedictionem habes, pater nostri?) (Benedicam benedic tibi etiam, pater, somnialiter) Sors mei finiet etiamsi (Sors immanis et inanis salubris vanitas) Haec sors est immanis inanis etiamsi (semper velata dissolibilis) Inane rubeface a luna (nemo nisi innocentes dormire potest) ecce te nepos excoci sed non quasi argentum elegi te in patiente camino ut sis paterfamilias eum camini spero vos videre lucem novam (luce nova) ------------------------------------------- TRANSLATION ATTEMPT: (parenthesis indicates the children speaking) regular text indicates Arle speaking [brackets indicate either a footnote for translation, or an insertion I've made for readability's sake] ------------------------------------------- Title: Perfectly Complete Absolution ------------------------------------------- [The] Vengeance of your anger Your Reckoning (Where are you going Father?) Behold, the red moon has risen! The pale[1] night has reddened, none but the innocent can tame [it] The fate of death[2] is veiled, and so I will keep the dreams of the children (Have you only one blessing, our Father?) (Bless you too, Father, for this dream is different) My fate will end, even so (The fate of monstrous and empty vanity) This is the fate of the monstrous, even so (Always veiled and dissolvable[3]) In vain, by the red-faced moon (None but the innocent can sleep) Behold, Nephew, I formed[4] you, but not like silver I chose you [in] patience for the Hearth, that you may be the Father of the household I hope you will see a new light (new light) TRANSLATION NOTES: ------------------- 1 - "exsanguem" used here literally means bloodless, frightened, or pale. I chose the third since it seemed to fit better than only the innocent being able to tame a 'bloodless' night. But ultimately its exact meaning isn't clear (imo) 2 - Given the context of the rest of the lyrics, I personally think "the fate of MY death" is what is implied here, but that's not what the text says so I left it as-is. 3 - the word used here, 'dissolibilis', I suspect is a compound word (similar to 'somnialiter' being a compound for 'somnia' and 'aliter' earlier in the lyrics) that I'm just unfamiliar with. I just left it as 'dissolvable' since I couldn't come up with a plausibly real translation otherwise. 4 - literally: baked/cooked - the word used insinuates to be parched in the sun. If you put the lyrics into google translate you'll get something funny like "behold, i cooked you nephew" lol ------------------------------------------- Overall I'm sure there's a good amount of inaccuracies in my translation, I haven't practiced my translating skills in a few years now, but I'm confident this is a better/more accurate result than anything Google will give you! Best of luck to everyone wishing for Arlecchino :)
