Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus
Language: Latin
Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus,
rumoresque senum severiorum
omnes unius aestimemus assis!
Soles occidere et redire possunt;
nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.
Da mi basia mille, deinde centum,
[dein mille altera, dein secunda centum,]1
deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum.
Dein, cum milia multa fecerimus,
conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus,
aut ne quis malus invidere possit,
cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.

Vivamos, Lesbia mía, y amémonos
Language: Spanish (Español) after the Latin
Vivamos, Lesbia mía, y amémonos,
y lo que dicen los viejos ceñudos
nada nos importe.
Los soles pueden ponerse y salir:
pero nosotros, una vez extinguida la débil luz,
deberemos dormir una perpetua noche.
Dame mil besos, luego ciento,
luego otros mil, luego ciento.
Y cuando llevemos muchos miles,
confundámoslos todos, hasta no saber
y que ningún malvado pueda envidiarnos
al saber cuántos besos han sido.
