Gaudeamus - old student hymn

Performed by male choir of MEPhI @ 50 years anniversary at Moscow conservatory Исполняет мужской хор МИФИ на концерте, посвященном 50 летию хора в большом зале московской консерватории Гаудеамус - старинный студенческий гимн 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, Pereant osores. Pereat diabolus, Quivis antiburschius Atque irrisores. (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!
