Catullus 5

Question 1

Vivamus mea Lesbia, atque amemus,
rumoresque senum severiorum
omnes unius aestimemus assis!
soles occidere et redire possunt:

Answer 1

Let us live my Lesbia and let us love and let us value all the rumors of stricter old men as a penny. Suns are able to die and return.

Question 2

nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.
da mi basia mille, deinde centum,
dein mille altera, dein secunda centum,
deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum.

Answer 2

We must sleep one perpetual night when once a short light falls. Give me a thousand kisses, then one hundred, then another thousand, then a second hundred, and then continuously another thousand, then a hundred.

Question 3

dein, cum milia multa fecerimus, conturbābimus illa, ne sciāmus, aut ne quis malus invidere possit, cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.

Answer 3

Then when we will have made many thousands, we will mix them up so that we do not know or so that some one bad is not able to envy when he knows that there are so many kisses.
