A. Well I studied latin for 4 years now and well the latin is actually the same as the english earlier sung in the song. Here are the latin pieces translated to english. Ferte in noctem animam meam Illustrent stellae viam meam Aspectu illo glorior Dum capit nox diem Cantate vitae canticum Sine dolore actae Dicite eis quos amabam Me numquam obliturum Translation: Carry my soul into the night May the stars light my way I glory in the sight As darkness takes the day Sing a song, a song of life Lived without regret Tell the ones, the ones I loved I never will forget Never will forget Hope this helped:)
