Gaius, vero parva haec res !!

-- William, It Was Really Nothing ['84] --
--The Smiths, lyrics by S. P. Morrissey --

['ga:-jus 'ga:-jus 'vé:-ró 'par-va ,hé:k 'rès]

Hoc in oppidum pallidum deplúit
hic locus te subrúit
oh, hoc in oppidum pallidum deplúit
hic locus te subrúit
et cuique homini vivéndum ést
et, per Iovem, mea nondum incépta
per Iovem, capiéndum mihi ést
Gaius, Gaius, vero parva haec res !!
Gaius, Gaius, vero parva haec res !!

Ita, tu cum crassa puella, illa dícet:
"dúcas-ne me uxorem
et, si vélis, émeas anulum"
nulla re illa dúcitur
"dúcas-ne me uxorem
et, si vélis, émeas anulum"
meis in somniis nemo ést
[me ipsum praeter ...]
Gaius, Gaius, vero parva haec res !!
Gaius, Gaius !!

[Translatio a 白狐]

-- NOTES --

Says the woman to the man at the wedding:
"Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia"
["Where you Gaius are/will-be, I Gaia am/will-be !!"]

So, no vocative [-us/-e] for the name Gaius !!

-- on this pale town rain is pouring down
this place has run you down [oh, . . .]
and every (hu-)man needs to live [his life]
and, by Jove, mine not yet [has] started
by Jove, I must take it
William, William, really small this matter --

-- So, you with a fat girl, she will say:
"would you take/lead me as/for a wife
and, if you would wish to, you may buy the ring
by nothing she is taken/led/moved [. . .]
in my dreams there is no-one
[except myself] [. . .] --
