CARPE NOCTEM
Carpe noctem, carpe noctem
Dies necandus est.
Hand on your chest.
Tace, tace, occide cordem!
*
Carpe temporem nocturnum
And gaze upon Selene's face,
And marvel at her swift pace.
Ecce lunae ambulacrum!
*
Carpe noctem, carpe noctem,
Don't sleep
Don't weep
Carpe noctem, carpe noctem…

Translation and notes:
Use the night ( =time of the night)
The day has to be killed.
Hand on your chest.
Be silent, be silent, kill the heart!
*
Use the time of the night
And gaze upon Selene's ( =Greek goddess of the moon) face,
And marvel at her swift pace.
Behold the path of the moon!
*
Use the night, use the night,
Don't sleep
Don't weep
Use the night, use the night…
