	Impress your friends! Sing Christmas Carols in latin! Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I have this book that has a few Xmas carols in Latin. Enjoy!

quote: Nicolaus Venit as Nos (Santa Claus Is Coming to Town) Attende ad te, noli flere Noli plorare ausculta me Nicolaus venit ad nos. Te videt dormientem Novit vigilantem. Novit agentem ben et non Igitur ne malus sis! Ergo! Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithfull) Adeste Fideles Lęti triumphantes Venite, venite in Bethlehem Natum videte Regem angelorum Venite adoremus, venite adoremus, venite adoremus, Dominum. En grege relicto Humiles ad cunas Vocati pastores approperant Et nos ovanti gradu festinemu Venite adoremus, venite adoremus, venite adoremus, Dominum. Tintinnabula (Jingle Bells) Tinc, tinc, tonc, tinc, tinc, tonc, Tintinnabula! Quam icundum vehere in ręda festiva! Tinc, tinc, tonc, tinc, tinc, tonc, Tintinnabula! Quam icundum vehere, Io Saturnalia! Per nivem currimus In ręda festiva Per montes eximus Ridens omnia In equis sonora In animis soles In mundo omnia rident Pro Tintinnabulis Euge! Rudolphus (Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer) Rudolphus cervus nasum redbicundum habebat Quem si videre possis elucere referas. Lucificare cervi deridentes solebant Neque sinebant eum comminus colludere. Ecce dixit Nicholaus pride festum "O, Rudolphe, nocte hac visne Traham ducere?" Quam tunc iucundus fuit cervis iubilantibus! "Rodolphe," nunc dicebant, "Notus eris posteris." Volumus Hilarem Festum (We Wish You a Merry Christmas) Volumus hilarem festum Volumus hilarem festum Volumus hilarem festum Et Bonum Annum

I hope I spelled them all right.

I didn't read them all, but "Nicolaus Venit as Nos" seems singable to the tune of the English version It wouldn't surprise me if the original was in Latin...

It would heavily surprise me since it was written by Fred Coots and Henry Gillespie in 1934.

Adeste fidelis is actually a real Christmas carol. And the rest of them don't scan at all.

IDK, I think Jingle Bells is the best to sing for me.


Oh well, I thought it would be neat to post them.

Won't do me any good. None of my friends are from Latin America.

Cool, too bad you couldn't fit in "te" in "Volumus hilarem festum".

I sang some Latin carols to my friends, and they said "F*ck off, you're weird"

I can't believe that Thrawn05 would betray me like this.

Kind of reminds me those special editions of Asterix in ancient Greek.
