"Hooked on a Feeling" in Latin! (Patreon)

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]

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 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et animĭ mōtū ["capior amōre" means "I fall in love"; here, "amōre" has been replaced by "sēnsū" ("feeling") and "animĭ mōtū" (emotion)]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]

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!

Omnia bella | ea tempora

ūrīgine percitā! [this is from Appulēius Metam. book 1]
