LATINENGLISH
Ad arma
Ad arma
Regina vocat
Regina vocat
To arms
To arms
The queen calls
The queen calls
Signa ferte
Imus ad bellum
Imus… ad bellum
Raise the banners
We go to war
We go… to war
Ad arma… regina vocat…
Regina iubet…
To arms… the queen calls…
The queen commands…
Pro regina omnia
Unum cor, una regina
Ad arma… ad arma…
Everything for the queen
One heart, one queen
To arms… to arms…
Pro una anima
Pro una… anima
For one soul
For one… soul
Amor meus means both “my love” the feeling and “my love” the man; the opera uses both.
