CARMEN 58

 

Lesbia in quadriviis

Caeli, Lesbia nostra, Lesbia illa.

illa Lesbia, quam Catullus unam

plus quam se atque suos amavit omnes,

nunc in quadriviis et angiportis

glubit magnanimi Remi nepotes.

 

 

Liefde is duur

Caelius, onze Lesbia, die Lesbia,

die Lesbia, die Catullus lief had als enige

meer dan zichzelf en al de zijnen,

trekt nu op straathoeken en in steegjes

de kleinzonen van de dappere Remus af

 

 

 

She gave me her mind

Then she gave me her body

But it seems to me

That she gave it to anybody

But I made her cry

And I made her scream (scream for me)

I took her high

And I curdled her cream

But how was I to know that she had been there before

She told me she was a virgin

She was number nine, ninety-nine on the clinical list

And I fell in love with the dirty little bitch

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack

She's got the Jack

I searched her mind

And then I searched her body ...

But so did everybody

But she gave me her heart

And she gave me her soul

And a great, big - warn out Empty hole

But how was I to know it had been filled in before

She said, "Bon, I've never had the urgency"

She was number nine, ninety-nine on the critical list

And I fell in love with the dirty little bitch

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack

She's got the Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack

She's got the Jack
