Viamus mea Claudia - Gaius Valarius Catallus (84 - 54 BC), Verona

translation: Ewan Whyte
Catallus: Lyric, Rude & Erotic
c. - 2004, Mosaic Press

Let us live and love
not listening to old men's talk
Suns will rise and set
long after our little light dies
gone away to darkness

Kiss me again and again
Let me kiss you a hundred times
a thousand more, again one thousand
without rest, losing count
so no one can speak of us and say
they know the number of our kisses
