Latin lyrics & English translation
Frigidus iaces
Sub luna muta
Amor meus mortuus est
Amor meus… mortuus est
You lie cold
Under a silent moon
My love is dead
My love… is dead
Non fleo
Numero
Una anima
Una anima
I do not weep
I count
One soul
One soul
Bellum meum natum est
Bellum meum natum est
Iuro per glaciem
Iuro per ignem
My war is born
My war is born
I swear by ice
I swear by fire
Orbis solvet
Orbis ardebit
Bellum meum natum est
(bellum… bellum…)
The world will pay
The world will burn
My war is born
(war… war…)
Amor meus mortuus est
Bellum meum natum est
My love is dead
My war is born
Bellum meum natum est
(bellum… bellum…)
Iuro per glaciem
Iuro per ignem
(bellum… bellum…)
My war is born
(war… war…)
I swear by ice
I swear by fire
(war… war…)
Una anima
Una… anima
One soul
One… soul
Amor meus means both “my love” the feeling and “my love” the man; the opera uses both.
