MARTINI NATIVITATIS SALUTATIO

MARTINVS RADVLFO SAL
Hoc die sacro, pie amice, gaude,
cum Dei sit filius ante lucem
natus in feno stabuli, redemptor
rexque futurus.

Det tibi pacem Dominus Deusque,
qui creaturae miserens creator
carnis humanae tegumen misellum
induit ipse.
VALE

(Scripsit Martinus Zythophilus in die Nativitatis Dni. 2012)

SEALED WITH A KISS - BASIUM SIGNATUM

SEALED WITH A KISS – BASIUM SIGNATUM

Though we’ve got to say good-bye
for the summer,
darling, I promise you this:
I'll send you all my love
Everyday in a letter
Sealed with a kiss.

Yes it’s gonna be cold,
lonely summer,
but I’ll fill the emptiness:
I’ll send you all my dreams
everyday in a letter
sealed with a kiss.

I’ll see you in the sunlight,
I’ll hear your voice everywhere,
I’ll run to tenderly hold you
but, Darlin’, you won't be there.

I don't wanna say good-bye
for the summer,
knowing the love we'll miss.
Oh, let us make a pledge
to meet in September
and seal it with a kiss.

‘Valeas’ tu mihi dicebas
illa aestate.
Cara autem puella, ad te
litteras remittam
amatorias quotidie
perustas basio.

Nunc ad mare frigus est
hac aestate
sed cremor memoria tui:
imago tua in somniis
indesinens revenit
signata basiis.

Contemplor os in nebulis,
vox in umbris auditur,
ad spectrum digitos iacio
sed vultus evanuit.

Manet semper tuum ‘valeas’
sub aestate.
Oro, formosissima,
recipe litteras
frigido in Augusto
et signa basiis.
