CLODIA (LAYLA IN LATIN)

Quid facies cum esses sola
[What'll you do when you get lonely]
Nemoque manet latere tua?
[And nobody's waiting by your side?]
Cucurristi et diu celavisti
[You've been running and hiding much too long.]
Scis solum esse stultam superbiam.
[You know it's just your foolish pride.]

Clodia, habes me genu meo
[Layla, you've got me on my knees.]
Clodia, carissimam te oro
[Layla, I'm begging, darling please.]
Clodia, cara nonne leves anxium animum.
[Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.]

Conatus sum dare solamen
[I tried to give you consolation]
Cum ‘Rufe frustra’ demisit.
[When your old man had let you down.]
Ut stultus, coepi amare te
[Like a fool, I fell in love with you,]
Terrarum orbem confudit.
[Turned my whole world upside down.]

Clodia, habes me genu meo
[Layla, you've got me on my knees.]
Clodia, carissimam te oro
[Layla, I'm begging, darling please.]
Clodia, cara nonne leves anxium animum.
[Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.]

Reparemus condicionem
[Let's make the best of the situation]
Ante ‘fieri excrucior’
[Before I finally go insane.]
Non negat umquam invenimus viam
[Please don't say we'll never find a way]
‘impensius uror’ non frustra
[And tell me all my love's in vain.]

Clodia, habes me genu meo
[Layla, you've got me on my knees.]
Clodia, carissimam te oro
[Layla, I'm begging, darling please.]
Clodia, cara nonne leves anxium animum.
[Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.]

[Solo + backing]

Clodia, habes me genu meo
[Layla, you've got me on my knees.]
Clodia, carissimam te oro
[Layla, I'm begging, darling please.]
Clodia, cara nonne leves anxium animum.
[Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.]

Clodia, ‘odi et amo’
[Layla, you've got me on my knees.]
Clodia, ‘da mi basia mille’
[Layla, I'm begging, darling please.]
Clodia, ‘vivamus atque amemus’ iam.
[Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.]
