π§ #JuneOfLove Please visit @flowka for details! ------------------- Listened to love songs in June on SUNO finally reached critical mass β made me want to write ten lines of my own about love: "he left, winter came, and the flower withered". Naturally, all drenched in the grimdark spirit of the Warhammer 40K universe, hehe ------------------- The wonderful image of Lord Commander Solar Macharius on the logo was drawn by the artist Raymond Swanland https://raymondswanland.com/ ------------------- *English translation below.* ------------------- *Original Latin lyrics* [intro] O dilecte Defensor Imperii, Obsecro β redi vivus ad me. Sed vox voti clamat per saecula, Nec amor meus te tenere valet. [verse 1] Amor longinquus cor meum urit, Anima rumpitur, via infinita patet. Mundi ruunt, sidera cadunt, Sed amor noster numquam moritur. Nomen tuum in corde meo ardet, In tenebris, lux tua viam regit. [Chorus] In proeliis siderum te video, Aquilam bicipitem alte ferentem. GLADIUS catenatus scindit noctem, Solium Aureum mortem vincit. Sub cruore stellarum, in lorica tua, Devote sed caece iura servas. Lacrimas in vacuum fundo... Ad astra, carissime, in bellum aeternum [verse 2] Expergiscor in silentio caeli, Stellas gelidas per fenestram aspicio. "REDOBO?" mecum quaero β Forsan stultitia militis sum, Vel vox desperata per Γ¦thera clamans... In statione maneo, cum amore tuo [Chorus] In proeliis siderum te audivi, "PRO IMPERATORE!" vox tua tonat. Fulmina lucis nubem discindunt, Amor meus in lumine te purgat. Ad portam navis, inter astra stantis, Lacrimas cum Promethio bibo. Et dimitto te, carissime β In tenebras aeterni belli. [outro] O dilecte Defensor Imperii, Obsecro β redi vivus ad me. Sed vox voti clamat per saecula, Nec amor meus te tenere valet. ------------------- *English translation * [Intro] O chosen Defender of the Imperium, I beg β return alive to me. Yet the oath echoes through the ages, My love cannot hold thee. [Verse 1] A distant love burns my heart, My soul is torn β the abyss lies open. Worlds crumble, stars fall, But our passion shall never die. Thy name blazes within me, In darkness, thy light guides the way. [Chorus] In stellar battles, I behold thee, The twin-headed Eagle soaring high. Chainsword rends the night, Golden Throne conquers death itself. Beneath starry blood, in sacred armor, Blind yet devout, thou keepest the vow. Tears I shed into the void... To the stars, beloved, to endless war. [Verse 2] I awaken in the silence of the void, Through stained glass, I gaze upon frozen stars. "Will thou return?" I ask again β A soldierβs folly, perhaps, Or a desperate cry into the ether... At the station I remain β with thy love. [Chorus] In stellar battles, I hear thee, "FOR THE EMPEROR!" thy voice thunders. Lightning tears the clouds asunder, My love purifies thee in radiance. At the shipβs airlock, among frozen stars, Tears I drink with Promethium. And I release thee, beloved β Into the darkness of eternal war. [Outro] O chosen Defender of the Imperium, I beg β return alive to me. Yet the oath echoes through the ages, My love cannot hold thee.
