O CARITAS

Hunc ornatum mundi

Nolo perdere

Video flagrare

Omnia res

Audio clamare

Homines

Nunc extinguitur

Mundi et astrorum lumen

Nunc concipitur

Mali hominis crimen

Tristitate et lacrimis

Gravis est dolor

De terraque maribus

Magnus est clamor

O caritas, O caritas

Nobis semper sit amor

Nos perituri mortem salutamus

Sola resurgit vita

Ah, this world is burning fast

Oh, this world will never last

I don't want to lost it here in my time

Give me time forever here in my time.

CAT STEVENS

TRANSLATION

I don't want to lose the harmony of the universe

I see all things... burning, I hear men... shouting.

Now is the light of the world and the stars going out

Now does the blame for the disaster fall upon men.

Grief is heavy with sadness and tears

Great is the noise from the earth and the seas

O love, O love be with us always.

We who will perish salute death. Life alone goes on.

Ah, this world is burning fast

Oh, this world will never last

I don't want to lose it here in my time

Give me time forever here in my time.
