Not the most serious thread, but I’ve decided to share a little project I worked on. I’m not sure if you have this song, but in Protestant circles we have a children’s song called “Jesus loves me”, really simple words and all (and if not, it’s a cool one to adopt for your children!) But anyhow, to practice my Latin and because I needed a break from homework, I attempted to translate it into Latin! I think I did it correctly, and actually a music major friend of mine said he would translate it into Gregorian chant notes, haha. May be a good way to teach children Latin once more. Here it is:
Iesus amat me, hic scio
–>Jesus loves me, this I know
Propter scriptura docet me
–>For the Bible tell me so
Is tenet liberoros
–>Little ones to him belong
Sum infirmus sed potens est
–>I am weak but he is strong
Veritas, Iesus amat me ( IIIx )
–>Yes, Jesus loves me
scriptura docet me
–>The bible tells me so
Iesus amat me, hic scio
–>Jesus loves me, this I know
Propter scriptura docet me
–>For the Bible tell me so
Is tenet liberoros
–>Little ones to him belong
Sum infirmus sed potens est
–>I am weak but he is strong
Veritas, Iesus amat me ( IIIx )
–>Yes, Jesus loves me
scriptura docet me
–>The bible tells me so
