Salvete omnes! This will be the first post in the Lyrics Latine series where I post modern pop songs with Latin lyrics you can sing in class! I will include two videos before the lyrics. The first video is the artist's music video of the song. The second video is a karaoke version on YouTube you can use for the audio. I don't recommend projecting the karaoke version - it may confuse the students!

(start singing around 0:04)
Caveat cantor! This song is quick - I advise reading through it aloud at least twice with your students before singing it with music. Even better would be singing it a capella.
Lyrics
M’ANIMADVERTE
Jepsen/tr. Goodman
nummum fontem ieci
secretum solum mihi
cor precetur tibi
nunc me tu impedis
tradam desiderio
assibus pro basio
hanc rem non expecto
nunc me tu impedis
me stupuisti
tunica cecidit
luna t’adfulguit
quo eas, Columba mea?
nu-per convenimus
insani’ adest
sed ecce! adsum
m’animadverte!
est difficile
te spectare
sed ecce! adsum
m’animadverte
nu-per convenimus
insani’ adest
sed ecce! adsum
m’animadverte!
aliī puerī
me cupiunt
sed ecce! adsum
m’animadverte
diu te
praestolata
et tete
volo alma
sed dedisti
nulla
adhuc me
impedis
aliquid ti
faciam
si dicas
“amo eam”
sed sic
spero forsan
sed
impedita sum
me stupuisti
tunica cecidit
luna t’adfulguit
quo eas, Columba mea?
Chorus
antea
convenimus
vita periit
vita periit
vita valde
periit (versus bis)
Chorus (est difficile…)
antea
convenimus
vita periit
vita periit
vita valde
periit (versus bis)
And a treat. Students (whose, I wonder?) singing this song!
