Without looking it up, answer these two questions about this song:
- When was it released?
- Is it a cover of an existing song?
This was inspired by a comment in the AskReddit thread "What really obvious thing have you only just realised?"
Given how difficult it is to find singers to perform my translations/adaptations and thus how long it's likely to take, I decided to get a head start on a few holiday songs so that I stand a decent chance of getting at least one recorded before the season ends. This is the first.
As usual, I concerned myself mainly with fitting the rhymes and number of syllables per line, while also preserving the original meaning as faithfully as I could. No attempt was made to adhere to classical Roman meter. I welcome any questions, suggestions, or even corrections, since this is probably not the final draft.
Hīs fēriīs nōn volō multa,
Nam rem sōlam requīrō.
Sub arbore iacent dōna,
Sed dē nullō cōgitō.
Sōlum volō tē tantum
Ut numquam sapiās quantum.
Nātāle Christī,
Volō nīl praeter tē. Adsīs!
Hīs fēriīs nōn volō multa,
Nam rem sōlam requīrō.
Sub arbore iacent dōna,
Sed dē nullō cōgitō.
Ita mī nullum tībiāle'st
Suspendendum dē focō.
Nōn mē fēlīcem faciet nīl
Quod inveniam in ullō.
Sōlum volō tē tantum
Ut numquam sapiās quantum.
Nātāle Christī,
Volō nīl praeter tē. Adsīs!
Hīs fēriīs nōn quaeram multa.
Nē nivem quīdem cupiam.
Simpliciter hīc sub viscō
Exspectāre tē pergam.
Indicem dēsīdēriōrum
Nec mittam nec parābō.
Nē pervigilābō quīdem
Dum audiam rangiferōs.
Volō mox sentīre tē
Firmē amplexantem mē.
Nātāle Christī,
Volō nīl praeter tē. Adsīs!
Quaeque lūx nunc passim tam clārē splendet,
Et āerem rīsus puerōrum implet.
Canunt omnēs cum gaudiō,
Et tintinnābul' audiō.
Sancte Nicolae, sōlumne quem cupiō vērē
Mī hāc nocte tam celerrimē ferēs?
Hīs fēriīs nōn volō multa,
Nam simpliciter quaerō
Vidēr' ante meam iānuam
Illum quem valdē amō.
Sōlum volō tē tantum
Ut numquam sapiās quantum.
Nātāle Christī,
Volō nīl praeter tē. Adsīs!
I'm even listening to it right now.
I've worked in retail for the last 15 years, working Christmas almost every year of that and I still love the song. In fact, I actually love working Christmas, and I love working retail, which makes me feel like an oddball most days ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Right everyone, I would like your input for this month's episode please.
This month. the podcast will feature the song "All I Want for Christmas is you" made famous by Mariah Carey.
Now it's no secret to my listeners that I don't like this version of the song.
So I would like you guys to comment below (and supply links) to other versions of this song that you like and I'll incorporate them in the episode.
I look forward to hearing other versions of this song. So don't hold back.
Santa Hurk is checking his list and gonna find out who is naughty or nice. Let's be real, some of you are getting chunks of coal this year in your stocking.
For the rest of you, Santa Hurk wants to know what are you asking for from the next Far Cry game for Christmas? Is there a particular location you want? Perhaps a certain weapon or animation that you haven't seen in the series in awhile? Or tell Santa Hurk what you've thought up yourself for a new thing in Far Cry!
Just got through a breakup and I wish that song wasn’t so freaking overplayed
MCR’s cover totally played in Wal-Mart last night. I was completely confused at first. Has anyone else heard it in there??
