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

 Therefore let us party
While we are young!
After pleasant youth
After troublesome 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 before us
Have been in the world?
Go up to the heavenly regions
Or cross over into the hellish ones
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 ended shortly!
Death comes quickly;
Cruelly it snatches us;
No one will be spared.
