Sorry, I was confused because I've only heard it aloud before now, and I assumed it was Aenead, because it is the story of the character Aeneas. I made a leap in logic that my roommate (who is studying ancient history, language, and literature) has informed me of why, exactly, I was wrong. And I simply need to add, Latin is a stupid language when it comes to naming things.
When I first heard this song, I didn't know what it was about at first, so I asked my mom. My mom said it was about him questioning everything, then I was all like "Questioning everything? Like his _decisions_ in this musical?" Then I heard Those You've Known.
no im sirius That’s not the vibe I was getting from that scene. It seemed more along the lines of neither character was educated enough to know the risks of having sex, even though Melchior professes to know it all, so neither knew why consent was so important, which is why they didn’t ask, and why Wendla later defended him to her mother.
@@jessica8564 But it was still a very terrible mistake on Melchior's part-he knew that he could get Wendla pregnant, but he didn't tell Wendla and went ahead anyway. He was educated.
Translation - The shores, he was much tossed on land and sea by the force of the gods, the wrath of many of the cruel account of the mindful, too, suffered in the war, until he established the city Arms and the man I sing, who was the first of Troy, exiled by fate from the shores of Italy, left the Trojan
@@boba4bobaman294 I think it must be Aenead since “first of Troy” cannot apply to Achilles, Menelaus, and all the other Greeks. The Trojan that has the story of being lost at sea like Odysseus and fled to Italy is none other than Aeneas (basically the ancestor of Romulus and Remus, mythological founders of Rome).
I want to dance to this flipping song!!! The background is the best! Like i want rock out an go craxy screaming the latin on the background! And also his voice is perfect just ughh
+Ashlynn Nightingale Because it's out of order. The passages are arranged in the way they flow best lyrically, not the order they are actually written.
Litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto Vi superum, saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram Multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit
It’s from the beginning of the Aeneid by Virgil, the second verse comes first in the epic, but second in the song. litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto vi superum, saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram, multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit translated: shores; much buffeted on sea and land by violence from above, through cruel Juno's unforgiving wrath, and much enduring in war also Arms I sing and the man who first from the coasts of Troy, exiled by fate, came to Italy and Lavinian
Was in this show 3 years ago now… you can’t understand how difficult that Latin is to time not only with everyone else saying it, but also with the ending of the actual solo…
The shores, having been tossed much on both land and sea By virtue of the gods, on account of the mindful anger There are many things in war also suffered, until he could found a city Chairman Meow, Loonie from mouth Italy, exiled by fate left the Trojan
Litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto Vi superum, saevae memorem Iunonis ob All that's known In History, in Science Overthrown At school, at home, by blind men You doubt them And soon they bark and hound you 'Til everything you say is just another bad about you All they say Is, "Trust in what is written" Wars are made And somehow that is wisdom Thought is suspect And money is their idol And nothing is okay unless it's scripted in their Bible But I know There's so much more to find Just in looking through myself, and not at them Still, I know To trust my own true mind And to say, "There's a way through this" On I go To wonder and to learning Name the stars and know their dark returning I'm calling To know the world's true yearning The hunger that a child feels for everything they're shown You watch me Just watch me I'm calling And one day all will know You watch me Just watch me I'm calling I'm calling And one day all will know Multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem
I️ sing of arms and a man, who first from the boundaries of Troy, exiled by fate, came to Italy and the Lavinian shores - he was tossed much both on land and on sea, by the power of the gods, on account of the mindful anger of savage Juno, he having suffered many (things) and also from war, until he could found a city, and was bringing in the gods to Latium, from whence [came] the race of Latins, and Alban fathers, and of the high city walls of Rome. It’s the first 7 lines of the Aeneid but kind of out of order.
litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto Vi superum, saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram Multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit
