O fons Bandusiae splendidior vitro
Language: Latin
O fons Bandusiae splendidior vitro
dulci digne mero non sine floribus
cras donaberis haedo
cui frons turgida cornibus
primis et venerem et proelia destinat.
frustra: nam gelidos inficiet tibi
rubro sanguine rivos
lascivi suboles gregis
te flagrantis atrox hora Caniculae
nescit tangere, tu frigus amabile
fessis vomere tauris
praebes et pecori vago
Fies nobilium tu quoque fontium
me dicente cavis impositam ilicem
saxis, unde loquaces
lymphae desiliunt tuae

源泉清澈赛玻璃，/ 价同美酒和花朵，
Language: Chinese (中文) after the Latin
源泉清澈赛玻璃，
价同美酒和花朵，
明天羊羔作祭礼，
头顶刚刚长出角。
空许爱情与战争。
你的流水如冰冷，
却被献血染殷红，
活蹦乱跳小畜生。
天狼照耀苦季节，
你有清凉多可爱，
能解犁地耕牛乏，
流动牲口也得歇。
你将成为一名泉，
我吟橡树在旁边，
岸上常见有孔岩，
泉水翻腾珍珠溅。
