Persona 3's opening, "Burn My Dread," with both Latin and English subs. (Although the song is in English, you kind of need subs to understand the awful Engrish... I honestly thought the song was in another language before I started translating it.) I know this isn't the best encoding ever, but after the video failed to encode properly five million times, I no longer care :D Anyway, my hat is tipped to my friend snoozysam, who both listened to me rant and rave about encoding problems and beat me in the unofficial "who has the longest video-making hiatus" contest. Also, his subtitle job of the P3P opening is much prettier than mine. Some translation notes! First off, this is a strictly literal translation. I did nothing fancy like meter or poetic devices. Secondly, this song really loves to break up sentences into two parts. This causes a problem when translating into Latin because the word order is different (Latin is subject-object-verb, and English is subject-verb-object). Latin's grammar structure is flexible and I could have rearranged the translation to follow the English word order exactly, but I opted to keep the translation in proper Latin word order. Hence, in some parts the English and Latin don't immediately match. Lyrics, for anyone who wants them: Cubiculum sine somnis, horologium crepitans E conclave quieto recedo Nox sine ventis, lumen lunae larvalem umbram meam Ad tepidas tenebras liquefacit. Nocturna saltatio gladiorum cruentorum Me commonet me vivere adhunc Ego~ Formidinem meam comburam Quondam deum metus effugi Et ille me desperatione vinxit Formidinem meam combure Vinculum frangam Et curram donec lucem solis rursus videam Os meum erigam et ad lucem solis curram.
