Gaudeamus igitur Juvenes dum sumus Post jucundum juventutem Post molestam senectutem Nos habebit humus. |
Let us rejoice
therefore While we are young. After a pleasant youth After a troublesome old age The earth will have us. |
| Ubi sunt qui ante
nos In mundo fuere? Vadite ad superos Transite in inferos Hos si vis videre. |
Where are they Who were in the world before us? You may cross over to heaven You may go to hell If you wish to see them. |
|
Vita nostra brevis est Brevi finietur. Venit mors velociter Rapit nos atrociter Nemini parcetur. |
Our life is brief
It will be finished shortly. Death comes quickly Atrociously, it snatches us away. No one is spared. |
| Vivat academia
Vivant professores Vivat membrum quodlibet Vivat membra quaelibet Semper sint in flore. |
Long live the academy! Long live the teachers! Long live each male student! Long live each female student! May they always flourish! |
|
Vivant omnes virgines Faciles, formosae. Vivant et mulieres Tenerae amabiles Bonae laboriosae. |
Long live all
maidens Easy and beautiful! Long live mature women also, Tender and loveable And full of good labor. |
| Vivant et
republica et qui illam regit. Vivat nostra civitas, Maecenatum caritas Quae nos hic protegit. |
Long live the State And the One who rules it! Long live our City And the charity of benefactors Which protects us here! |
|
Pereat tristitia, (vers. C. W. Kindeleben 1781) |
Let sadness
perish! Let haters perish! Let the devil perish! Let whoever is against our school Who laughs at it, perish! |
