Hunc ornatum mundi
Nolo perdere
Video flagrare
Omnia res
Audio clamare
Homines
Nunc extinguitur
Mundi et astrorum lumen
Nunc concipitur
Mali hominis crimen
Tristitate et lacrimis
Gravis est dolor
De terraque maribus
Magnus est clamor
O caritas, O caritas
Nobis semper sit amor
Nos perituri mortem salutamus
Sola resurgit vita
Ah, this world is burning fast
Oh, this world will never last
I don't want to lost it here in my time
Give me time forever here in my time.
Translation of Latin:
(I don't want to lose the harmony of the universe
I see all things... burning, I hear men... shouting.
Now is the light of the world and the stars going out
Now does the blame for the disaster fall upon men.
Grief is heavy with sadness and tears
Great is the noise from the earth and the seas
O love, O love be with us always.
We who will perish salute death. Life alone goes on.)
Cat Stevens, whose real name is Steven Demetre Georgiou, is a British singer-songwriter born in London on July 21, 1948. Active from the late 1960s until 1978, he then embraced Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam, continuing his musical career with a more spiritual approach. Stevens is known for his melancholic and introspective folk-rock melodies, often accompanied by poetic lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, faith, and spirituality. Among his most celebrated songs are "Wild World", "Father and Son" and "Peace Train". The album "Tea for the Tillerman" (1970) is considered a classic of British folk-rock. After his conversion period, Yusuf Islam continued to release music with more religious lyrics, but he has always maintained a refined and poetic musical sensibility.
