to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus
This was written at the request of my Baroness for a song she could sing to her young daughter. At the time, I was deeply immersed in my M.A. in Medieval Studies and learning a whole lot of Latin. This is my first (and hopefully only) Latin filk.
Gladii belli feriunt, feriunt, feriunt.
Gladii belli feriunt
totum diem.
(The swords of war strike all day.)
Coqui culinae cibum dant, cibum dant, cibum dant.
Coqui culinae cibum dant
totum diem.
(The kitchen cooks give food all day.)
Rex et regina praecipunt, praecipunt, praecipunt.
Rex et regina praecipunt
totum diem.
(The king and queen command all day.)
Infans beata amatur, amatur, amatur.
Infans beata amatur
totum diem.
(The happy baby is loved all day.)
