Latin lyrics & English translation
Venit tempestas
Venit tempestas
The storm is coming
The storm is coming
Mundus ardet!
Caelum cadit!
Mundus ardet!
Caelum cadit!
In media tempestate
The world is burning!
The sky is falling!
The world is burning!
The sky is falling!
In the heart of the storm
State firmi
(Mundus ardet!)
Nolite cedere
(Caelum cadit!)
Mecum ite
(In media tempestate!)
Stand firm
(The world is burning!)
Do not give way
(The sky is falling!)
Come with me
(In the heart of the storm!)
Mundus ardet!
(Venit tempestas!)
Caelum cadit!
(Venit tempestas!)
In media tempestate
In media tempestate
The world is burning!
(The storm is coming!)
The sky is falling!
(The storm is coming!)
In the heart of the storm
In the heart of the storm
Mille animae
Mille… animae
A thousand souls
A thousand… souls
Amor meus means both “my love” the feeling and “my love” the man; the opera uses both.
