What Marc Anthony sang after he gave an epic speech at Caesar’s funeral.

One of my favorite songs and one I was supposed to upload on the Ides of March this year but got late. As punishment, I will do one for dearly departed Julius every year from now. RIP Caesar.

Original song by Simon & Garfunkel: Simon and Garfunkel – The Sound of Si…

Lyrics

    Salve, amica mea, nox,
    vult loqui tecum mea vox
    quia atra imago muta irrepsit
    et semina in meo somno reliquit
    et imago quod in mea mente sata est
    nunc manet
    in sono silentii.

    In inquieto somnio gressus sum
    angustos per vicus solus,
    in vico sub luce lampadis
    cervices meos ad frigus verti
    et algidi ignis lux oculos transfodit
    et noctem rupit
    tangens sonum silentii.

    Atque vidi in pura luce
    centum milia gentium, immo plures,
    loquentes sed non dicentes
    audientes sed non auscultantes
    scribentes versos quos umquam nulla voce declament
    nemo ausus est
    interpellare sonum silentii.

    “Stulti” dixi “ignorate”
    Silentii morbum vos temptare,
    date aures ut doceam vos,
    tendete manus ut tangam vos.”
    Sed mea verba ut muta pluvia praecipitant
    et personant
    in puteis silentii.

    Gentes adoraverunt
    eorum ignem algidum,
    et in titulo erat monitus
    litteris flammiferis igneus.
    “Verba vatum incisa sunt in paretibus cryptarum
    et suburborum”
    susurratae in sonis silentii.
