"Hooked on a Feeling" in Latin (Blue Swede), "Capior Sēnsū" Latīnē (Suētus Caeruleus)

Latin Lyrics Below! Audio file mp3 download available to my Patreon supporters. / lukeranieri
This translation and performance preserves the music's rhythm with corresponding correct Latin rhythm (long and short syllables), and even the rhymes! This is seldom done, but is important because the natural rhythm of Latin is the core of the language (the rhymes, however, are just for fun!). Teachers and Latin speakers can use this as a tool to subconsciously internalize the natural rhythm of Latin, the most important part to good Latin pronunciation.
"Hooked on a Feeling"
Blue Swede (1973)
translated and performed by Luke Amadeus Ranieri

Verba Carminis / Latin Lyrics (with translation notes and pronunciation guides, including elisions and reduction of short 'i' before vowels into 'j' (the semivowel)).
Ĕffrēnātum sēnsum [the 'ĕ' here indicates the syllable has been shortened for metrical reasons, in the fashion of Plautus; see Cicero's Orātiō in Catilīnam for "effrēnāta audācia"]
datum ā tē mihī,
cāra, nōn rēsistō [the 'rē-' prefix may be pronounced long or short in Classical Latin]
quem facis mī. [this is a reference to Ovid. Amor. III.2 "quem facis esset amor"]
Ăh, lacertīs
positīs collō [this is a reference to various Ovid poems in his Amores where Corinna presses her upper arms around Ovid's neck before kissing him]
rem salvam ["rēs salva est" is an idiom meaning "everything is fine"]
sīc esse sciō.
Capiŏr sēnsū [the 'ŏ' here indicates the syllable has been shortened for metrical reasons, in the fashion of Plautus]
et animĭ mōtū ["capior amōre" means "I fall in love"; here, "amōre" has been replaced by "sēnsū" ("feeling") and "animĭ mōtū" (emotion)]
ŏ, quod tū me ipsa amās.
Labrumst dulcius melle.
Sapōris sum memor.
Hauriendumst mulsum, ["mulsum" = honey wine, referring to "melle" above]
ita sitim patior!
Perditē tē cupjō; [the 'j' here indicates that the 'i' scans as a syllable, not as a vowel, as in Vergil "Lāvinjaque vēnit lītora"]
remedjō nōn opus.
Vinciorque et vincor
ac tōtus sum tuus!
Omnja bella | ea tempora [the vertical line is a metrical hiatus]
agŏ, cāra
ūrīgine percitā! [this is from Appulēius Metam. book 1]
Capiŏr sēnsū
et animĭ mōtū
ŏ, quod tū mē ipsa amās.
Omnja bella | ea tempora
agŏ, cāra
ūrīgine percitā!
Capiŏr sēnsū
et animĭ mōtū
ŏ, quod tū mē ipsa amās.
Capiŏr sēnsū
et animĭ mōtū
ŏ, quod tū mē ipsa amās.
Inquam capiŏr sēnsū
atque animĭ mōtū
ŏ, quod tū mē ipsa amās.

I never thought I needed this until now omg CAPIOR SENSUUUUUUUUUUU

[@ScorpioMartianus]

Haha I'm so glad you like it! :D My favorite are the claps, which I had to add back in. I also like "labrumst dulcius melle" a lot.

[@Yazztan]

Yumerch!

[@rikkinesbitt2337]

I ordinarily use songs to aid me in studying languages, so this is going to be a huge help as I pick up Latin again. Grātiās tibi agō ^^

[@ScorpioMartianus]

Great! Thanks for commenting. 😊

This video has- and deserves- no dislikes.

[@ScorpioMartianus]

Thanks, Lucas! :D That's real nice of you.

[@alulim1338]

My high school latin teacher would've loved this. He once brought in a copy of The Grinch entirely in latin.

[@ScorpioMartianus]

I know the author of that book, Terrence Tunberg, whose translation was the basis of this cover song of mine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKUi5JvrZ2paJY

[@bakiiibakii1298]

My family really loves the original then I found this and I never knew how much i needed this, I can't help but sing it when I hear the original. This is my new favorite song :)

Aw thanks Victoria! You’re my new favorite subscriber! 😃

Me too!

[@madjames1134]

Latin, as the Romance languages, are very well suited to poetry and music: predictable syllable size, easy to rhyme, no tones, and all their phonemes are common across languages (nothing like ř or þ).

[@carver552]

Very cool! Definitely my favorite Since under the sea!!

Thanks, Rumbler! :D

[@cak8132]

OMG… this was priceless!! Capior sensu… fabulous. I’m a huge fan of the Everly Brothers. I think a song of theirs that would lend well to Latin is “All I Have To Do Is Dream” (“Omnes Habeo Facere Somnium”) I think it has potential.

Kinda disappointed your team dubbed the band singing not the scene in Guardians of the Galaxy.

[@sekhmara8590]

Don't think the Mouse would like that, which is a shame because it would be very cool.

[@modmaker7617]

@@sekhmara8590 Well they already dubbed many Disney songs into Latin and used clips from the films or shows like Kermit the Frog, Nightmare Before Christmas, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Lion King and Moana. They pit "educational" in every video which works to avoid copyright breaking.

@@modmaker7617 This is true about the other shows, but GotG is an ongoing franchise, with a new ride set to open. I just don't want the current excessively vindictive mouse to whack this channel, because I really love all the content here. It's positively brilliant.

A little more autotuning would help.
