NEW ROMAN SONG—Song of Hadrian’s Wall:
You can buy this song and my other songs here:
Composition and vocals by Farya Faraji. This song is just me having a bit of fun writing a Roman military march.
No deep historical value to this one--this is entirely a modern piece. I limited the instrumentation to trumpets, drums and a kithara, which the Romans had, although I added cymbals which aren’t historically accurate. I used the Classical Latin pronunciation for the lyrics.
Lyrics:
Per aspera ad astra,
Per ardua ad astra,
Exurge Mars, Mars Ultor,
Roma et Imperator,
Viribus unitis,
Semper fidelis!
Sumus filii* Lupae capitolinae!
English translation:
Through hardships to the stars,
Through adversity to the stars,
Awake Mars, Mars the avenger,
For Rome and the Emperor*,
With forces united,
Forever loyal!
We are sons of the capitoline Wolf!
*This is the correct way to write the word, the one in the video is erroneous.
*I translated “Imperator“ as “Emperor.“ Translating the word “imperator“ is somewhat tricky—it didn’t originally mean our definition of emperor, and was at first a military title. Generations into the era of the Empire, however, it had developped an almost exclusive association with the monarch of the state, which is why it took its modern meaning by the the time the Romance languages evolved out of Latin. I imagined this chant as being representative of Imperial soldiers, not Republican-era ones, which is why I translated it as “emperor.“ By the time we’re deep into the Imperial era, soldiers would only mean the monarch of the state when saying “Imperator“ with very few exceptions.
