Heretics' Gaudy
Heretics’ Gaudy
Princetonians for Trump, 2019
Tune sung with some of diverse traditional lyrics by University of Illinois Varsity Men’s Glee Club at http://youtu.be/4pOitHlghW0.
Gaudeamus igitur
Liberi dum sumus.
Gaudeamus igitur
Liberi dum sumus.
Post jucundam rebellionum
Post molestam patriciorum
Hereticis comburemur.
Hereticis comburemur.
Party hearty while we’re free,
’Cause it never lasts long.
Prate no ideology,
Sing the age-old true song:
After casting off our fetters
And correction by our betters
At the stake as heretics we’ll die;
In the flames as heretics we’ll fry.
Democratia brevis est
Brevi finietur.
Democratia brevis est
Brevi finietur.
Venit mors velociter
Rapit eam atrociter
Nunquam eam parcetur.
Nunquam eam parcetur.
Mortal is democracy;
It has never lasted.
You should read Thucydides;
He’ll help you get past it.
Sorry, Abe, but it will perish
From the earth; you just postponed that.
Forms of government are only tools;
Folks who worship them are silly fools.
Ubi sunt qui ante nos
Democratia fecerunt?
Ubi sunt qui ante nos
Democratia fecerunt?
Vadite ad dictaturas
Transite sub divites
Hos si vis videre.
Hos si vis videre.
Where now are the democrats
Who have gone before us?
Whither the Athenians,
Florentines and Brabantines?
Those with luck went under strongmen,
Those with less went under rich men.
Have you ever been to Singapore?
If not, you have a surprise in store.
Gaudeamus igitur
Liberi dum sumus.
Gaudeamus igitur
Liberi dum sumus.
Post jucundam rebellionum
Post molestam patriciorum
Hereticis comburemur.
Hereticis comburemur.
