O Caritas lyrics

Song information

Artist: Cat Stevens
Album: Catch Bull At Four

Lyrics

Hunc ornatum mundi
Nolo perdere
Video flagrare
Omnia res
Audio clamare
Homines
Nunc extinguitur
Mundi et astrorum lumen
Nunc concipitur
Mali hominis crimen
Tristitate et lacrimis
Gravis est dolor
De terraque maribus
Magnus est clamor
O caritas, o caritas
Nobis semper sit amor
Nos perituri mortem salutamus
Sola resurgit vita
Ah, this world is burning fast
Oh, this world will never last
I don't want to lost it here in my time
Give me time forever here in my time

Translation of latin:
(I don't want to lose the harmony of the universe
I see all things... burning, I hear men... shouting
Now is the light of the world and the stars going out
Now does the blame for the disaster fall upon men
Grief is heavy with sadness and tears
Great is the noise from the earth and the seas
O love, o love be with us always
We who will perish salute death. life alone goes on.)
