Big shoutout to the wickedly talented Leonie Aonzo for the sick BG artwork. So yeah, AI art is nice and all, but like every new technology out there, I just jumped right into it without really knowing how it worked, upon learning more, I was just depressed about what it meant and how it was going to affect the real artist out there (many of whom I am good friends with). So I decided to stop and instead rely on real artists instead. Big thanks to King Solomon who reached out to me with an email and enlightened me more on this topic.

Here's are the lyrics courtesy of Memoramissa:
eō sōlam viam,
eam tālem ūnicam sciō.
nesciō quōrsum it,
sed hīc habitō et sōlus eō.
eō vacuam viam
simul gradiuntur frāctae spēs*
est urbī quiēs,
sum hīc ūnicus et sōlus eō.
sōlus eō, sōlus eō, sōlus eō, sōlus eō.
mea umbra est ūnica res juxtā iēns,
res palp'tāns ūnica 'st meu' cor infirmum,
quibusque volō fārī: "invenīte
mē!", sed sōlus eō.
eō līneam,
abs quā mea mens dīvīsa est.
fīnis līneam marginis,
in quā solus eō.
lege inter versūs,
quod est laudāns, quod pēdīcāns est.
vītae signa temptā, sīc mē vīv're sciēs.
solus eō.
sōlus eō, sōlus eō, sōlus eō, sōlus eō.
eō vacuam viam, simul gradiuntur frāctae spēs.
est urbī quiēs,
et sum ūnicus et sōlus eō.
mea umbra est ūnica res juxtā iēns,
res palp'tāns ūnica 'st meu' cor infirmum,
quibusque volō fārī: "invenīte

But it’s not extinct: a language which is extinct has no speakers at all.

welcome to the bardcore community friend
Search for bard core, like the previous commenter said, you shan't regret it.
If it's still your obsession, maybe you can try my work? :)
@@proto-germanicsongsandtexts i will take a look.
Bioware Infinite did a barbershop cover of God Only Knows by the Beach Boys.
Not Bardcore, but a nice cover.
why is this so pretty?
there's something so soothing about the vocals
where the original one was angsty, this one seems like he's come to terms with it
I love this a lot
I was wondering why I loved this cover so much, I think you nailed it on the head
This version is like "Yeah. I'm alone. So what?" while the original is more like "Yeah. I'm alone. Sucks, eh?"
I feel that way too. Maybe because I associate Latin with mass and prayer, the song feels more reflective than merely being miserable.
@@bunderlemu7802 Iam curious about this. I agree with you that there is certainly a lot of modern bias the way we learn and use latin. There would be quite the difference of how people from different regions spoke latin. Not to mention latin changing over time. But I feel also that certain languages are more suited to be accurate while others tend to be more metaphorarical and are often associated with nuances not decribing reality accurately. This can be due to the nature of the language: E.g. mute swans aren't mute. English natives: Why not name them silent swans? Or due to the way people use a language: E.g. People interact online mostly in English so terms in video games are used by "gamer" and the English words are associated with certain actions.
I may be wrong but maybe it's due to the musicality of romance lenguages, i'm a bit biased being italian speaking and to me latin resembles poetry and familiar sounds, but i feel like english is harsher, it's sounds, how you say things and how the sounds mix togheter it just doesnt have the same flow of italian spanish romanian etc. I find this even in the other lenguage/dialect that i'm mother tongue in, Lumbàrt, it has harsher sounds coming from germanic lenguages for example the ü and the c that's pronounced as a k, but a the same time folk song made for that dialect sound weird when sung in italian, but that's maybe just a "broken habit" situation so it sounds weird but it isn't.
As a Latin teacher myself I stand deeply in awe.
I wish I had my high school Latin teacher’s contact info to send her this video. She was probably the nicest teacher I ever had for a subject that I truly struggled with daily.
@@adamr4198 I am not american, so i didnt have high school, but basically same. He was such a cute guy, despite having a little issue with alcohol.
@@adamr4198 are you from my school bruh? My latin teacher was also the nicest teacher in school I want to send this to her soo much.

@@adamr4198 na, graduated from french school of bangkok
As someone who's first language is Spanish and knows the basics of the other romance language it's such a warm feeling to identify a few grammatical rules and words from Spanish, french, Italian and Portuguese... Kinda gives the vibes of finally meeting the mother of the siblings you've befriended lol
Oof, now I want to meet the siblings asd;lkfjas;dlkfj... I've been having a thing for languages recently which is annoying because I have no time :(
Yes what a lovely way to put it!
because its the ancestor of vulgar latin, which in turn is the the ancestor of all romance languages
@@gibarel Not quite. Classical Latin was the kind spoken by the Roman upper class whereas Vulgar Latin was spoken by the lower class. They co-existed at the same time.
That's because all those languages evolved from Latin.
"Sōlus eō sōlus eō" for the rest of my life this will periodically pop into my head and I'm OK with it.
Amazing cover
nothing we even could do about it.
"sōlus ēo sōlus ēo"
Yes, but I'm not sure why the particular choice of words. "Solus eo" translates as "I go alone". It would be more accurate to say "Solus ambulo." Maybe it sounds better with fewer syllables?
@@avocatrobbins2189 im not an expert by any means, but solus ambulo would not have rolled off the tongue well.
im not a musician at all xD but i just tried singing it and i would surely prefer the less accurate translation.
would make a great cryptic tattoo. Someone sees your tattoo "Hm, 'solus eo', wonder what that means?" they Google it and it says "I go alone" and they're like "Huh, that's deep. Must be a reflection on, like, how life is only ever lived alone?" little do they know it's from a meme Latin cover of Green Day lmfao
Many of the words alliterate better than the original words do, making it feel more like a whole. Impressive.
thank you, i tried to make them do so) 🍎🍏
All credit to Memoramissa, he did a kickass job with the translation and pronunciation training
@@memoramissa I definitely understand why, despite the song's tradition of hybrids with other songs and such (which I like), you really could not name this one *Boulevard of Broken Latin* . 😄(But *Boulevard of Bardcore Dreams* would be an option.)
@@Dowlphin boulevard of broken latin is wicked 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the problem is 'boulevard' though. it is a much later word, comes from the absolutism era military terminology, if i recall correctly? i used 'via', simply a road, a way, a path. the closest'd be 'via fractārum spērum' (the road of broken hopes), but because it is so out of metre, i used 'ubi gradiuntur fractae spēs' (where broken hopes march)
@@memoramissa It is definitely better to follow the spirit of music and not try an accurate translation. This way it also has more of an own work, which is to strive for.
EDIT: Then the lyrics shown should reflect it, though, and not be the original ones mismatching with the Latin. Also better for educational purposes.
This makes me imagine a lonely, unwitting time traveler flung into the distant past, translating their faded memories of a future song into the words of their new present

I'm thinking it would be like Bioshock, where there have been rifts between then and now, where our music has drifted through to their world. Would you kindly ..... :-)
not gonna lie, i feel like i'd hear this at a tavern somewhere along the many roads to Rome. a weary traveler sings his lament to the melancholy melody of the band. i can't help but feel solidarity with this lonely traveler and his eyes lined with circles dark as a cold winter's night.

POV: You're exploring the burnt remains of Pompeii after Vesuvius wiped it off the face of the earth.
Ironically immediately after both Herculaneum and Pompeii were wiped out they were taken out of Roman maps, no one ever talked about either town ever again except for those who were there. It got to a point where these towns’ locations were forgotten by the Roman’s

I'm just waiting for some enterprising renfaire group to start memorizing these lyrics phonetically, then play all your bardcore songs on the local circuit. Whoever pulled that off would be legendary.
The quest I’ve set to bestow the rank of Legendary upon some noble being is considerably simpler:
Make a karaoke version of this and keep it not to thyself.
But yeah. That’d be cool. What you said.
From a lyrics perspective this is your best bardcore cover yet. It flows phenomenally well! I love it! :)
Personally I love the old french House of the rising sun. As a french speaker I dont even need the caption I understand it and it sounds nice.
Well how did he come up with "quod est laudāns, quod pēdīcāns est." (What is praiseworthy is what is pedantic) for "fucked up and everything is alright"?
@@nostalji75 I believe he says quod pedicans
@@Aerxis yes you are correct. Ty for the correction. Dunno why I didnt just copy paste. Anyways the translation doesnt make a lot of sense to me.
@@nostalji75 to be fair "fucked up" is a fairly new concept as far as phrases go. I am reading it more as "read between the lines of what is goo, and what is bothersome and tedious" because to be pedantic is to be overly tedious about minute details to the point of being annoying or bothersome or boring to others. it works, and its not even a really big stretch, its just an issue of intended meaning vs direct translation. Which becomes a little more difficult when the language in question has no native speakers left and thus no translations for fairly modern words and phrases that exist in other languages.
These songs are so well executed that it mentally seems like they could be the original
When you return from an unsuccessful campaign in Germania
The internet was made for things like this. Something I would never have thought of in a million years, but will soon be able to sing it because it will be on loop for days. Fantastic.
This unironically slaps harder than I could've ever expected. Course it doesn't help that I love the original song. Amazing work, everyone who helped make this is talented as fuck.
Just hearing this as an Indian with my idea of Latin limited to only what I learnt in build up to English.. It's amazing to me that this language died at all considering it's fluent enough to have a whole song translated into it without missing any it's Fluency or word tempo.
I imagine very few songs can be converted in such a way to Latin but it's still amazing to me. What a cover 👍
@techpriestessmicaela8441 I agree somewhat but it's fair to say that Latin on it's own, then changed so drastically that it ceased to be. Other ancient languages also evolved&changed into 10 other children languages,but they still managed to survive at it's core in other nations with speakers still speaking that language & learning about its literature,taking it up together along with modern day language to use day-to-day. Just looking at Google's list of languages to translate..I see that it'll ask for Translation into Chinese(Classical/Traditional) or Chinese-Modern when asked, or in case of Sanskrit,an even more astounding list of languages such as Hindi,Urdu,Bangla,Tamil, Sinhalese,Marathi,Nepali,Thai,Bahasa, Hmong, Gujarati, Punjabi, Malayalam,Telegu etc(Probably was the most influential one of them all),but essentially, you'll find regions where they'll still be speaking old Han or Sanskrit or Ancient Egyptian dialect. Latin somehow didn't except when TV dramatization happened or covers like these..which I find remarkable because I find it very usable. I recently even saw a TV series "Rome",all in Latin&then in Italian..& I think Latin sounded more apt to series.
@@GauravSingh-nn1eg It used to be maintained in the church, but with the decline of the institution the use of Latin has also.
Amazing, brought my father to tears whilst he was barely able to continue to carry on singing along. This is truly a lifechanging song.
Wow! You even used contractions. Truly impressive work!
Its all thanks to Memoramissa, he did a kickass job with the translation and pronunciation training
@@the_miracle_aligner The translation is genuinely hitting so hard. No joke. I don't know if it's because of him or Latin, but it does a number on my cor infrimum.
No, but the contractions are in the wrong places! I don't care, it's not good! You cannot contract syllables in the middle of the word, that's not how Latin works! Only two are acceptable is "unica 'st", which is fine, and "meu' cor" and even that's like Plautus level shit (equivalent of using "thou" or "thy"), it doesn't fit.
@@Sebastian-ij6md Who?
@@Sebastian-ij6md You can definitely contract middle syllables in Latin so long as they’re not penultimate. We know from period misspellings (eg. “Imperator” rendered “Embratur”)
POV: No one in your familius understands your pain (Flavia turned down your invitation to the Saturnalia feast)
Almost makes me wish Green Day had never done their cover of this song -- the original Latin is just so much better. Then again, their version did bring it to such a wider audience... I dunno, tough call.
This feels so self-mournful, and I love it.

That was fantastic! Feeling like I'm back to teen in an ancient era.
@Prasanth Thomas more like 0s teens lol
There were no teens in medieval era. You were either kid or adult.
@Prasanth Thomas Adoloscence is a social construct that, as only of within the past ~60 years has recognized a transitionary period between adults and children. It is not a biological stepping stone, it is merely a series of events that charactsrize the transition between adulthood and childhood. The concept of teens was used in the early 20th century, (prior to it being coined) to enlarge the labor force. It was later coined as a form of adoloscence following the western cultural revelations in the late 1950s through the 1970s.
@Prasanth Thomas You bear the burden of responsibility to provide evidence, being the opposition in this argument.
Provide us evidence of people enjoying a set of 'teen' years in the dim and distant past.
@Prasanth Thomas You called me honey. :] I like that.
This album came out when I was in middle school, 14 year old me, listening to this track and something inside me....woke up.
I've heard it hundreds, if not _thousands_ of times since then, and it has never done the same thing, like....chasing that first feeling.
This made my spine tingle, my heart beat faster, my senses stand on edge. This captured the full spirit of this music, and I commend you with my whole heart.
Ave Roma.
Ave Caesar
Roma Invicta
it feels so natural the tempo was spot on love it
I can’t say I ever woke thinking what really need today is a cover of one of my favourite songs in Latin, but I’m so glad this exists. This is what the internet was made for.

Gratulor in videos tuis, hoc tibi post plura videos.
Tibi Gratias Ago!!!!
I really need to relearn Latin all I got was “should post more videos” and “Thanks Friend.”
Love the classical pronunciation! I think I like this more than the original.
This adds another level of melancholy if you think about the Roman tradition of placing tombs along either side of roads.
This song was very much part of my childhood in the late 2000’s, as I’m currently learning Latin I never thought I would hear this song in that language and it’s way better than I expected
I think this should be sung in late latin. Broken dreams with an end of the western roman empire mixed with this background would be so appropriate
Vulgar Latin or Late Latin as you say was the language of the Middle Ages, of the Church, after the fall of the West so I think this is more appropriate. you can just imagine a late Roman hero like Stilicho in the twilight days of empire clinging to their ancient language and traditions while the barbarians close in around them and the world they knew slowly crumbles away. Plus Classical Latin sounds prettier IMO.

This almost works too well. Now they just need to do a music video walking down an old Roman road where Mike and Tre are wearing tunics and Billie is wearing a toga.
Very catchy interpretation of the song. My late aunt (she died last year at 91) won the Latin prize in high school for 4 years running. She did crossword puzzles in Latin until she was in her late 80s. When I went to high school Latin wasn't offered anymore (big mistake). Now, I find I'm interested in learning the language. I appreciate your time and effort here to make Latin accessible to people like me----your energy piqued my interest in learning Latin. I hope that you continue to do more of these songs in Latin. You rock here!
Definitely my favourite cover from this channel.
Awesome work to everyone involved!
I love everything about this cover, and everyone involved did an incredible job bringing the concept to fruition. The background art is really striking with that evening light and shadow, and Armstrong's likeness is perfect. It's pretty funny how a change of clothes and atmosphere makes him so convincing as a traveling Roman bard. Would he have called himself Viridi Die?
Not just a beautiful cover into a beautiful language, it’s a beautiful song. Period. Bravo! 👏🏼 I also love the drawing of Billy Joel Armstrong as a Roman “cantator” (minstrel) 😂
The last words of a Roman soldier in 408 AD after Germanic Barbarians invade
This feels like something my Latin teacher back when I was a senior in high school would have loved and played for us.
I feel like I'm back in middle school, but in Latin. Great job!
I'm not even a Green Day fan but I always liked this song. This proves it is truly timeless. Great work though, making it work this well couldn't have been easy. Dare I say it's better than the original?
I remember blvd of broken dreams getting overplayed on MTV, never really cared for it. However if only Greenday had been writing in latin bardstyle they'd be one of my favorites. This is fantastic. Great work guys.
A blast back in more ways than one. The contributions by your collaborators are extra appreciated.
Now I wanna hear a choral version of this. The Bass singer will have a field day with this song.
As one, I was just thinking about that. Basso profundo in fact. Oh, my, the possibilities!
I want to hear this performed by Gregorian ua-cam.com/video/CkrzKbC9S9s/v-deo.html
That feeling when Ovid still hasn't returned from exile and so you have no new emo poems to read x(
I love this version. The way it's almost bittersweet. Such a fresh take on the song. I come back to this video every couple of weeks. It always gives me the chills I got way back when I heard the original for the first time
Oh my god! Greenday and Latin? I would have been ALL ABOUT THIS in about 2007. Thanks for the beautiful arrangement and the happy memories
I may walk a lonely road, but it will always lead to Rome
This was something I never knew I needed in my life. Not to mention it really fits in the context of all roads leading to Rome, all cultures walk a path of broken dreams and ambitions.
I agree with the chat replay, it's like it could have been written in Latin to begin with, it flows so well.
I come back to this cover over and over again. I probably listened to that more than the original at this point, despite liking the song very much. Rarely do you see something so different yet sounding so "right". Great job!
I think it speaks volumes to Green Day's poetic ability that this song works just as well in classical Latin as it does in modern English, without requiring any analogous translations (e.g. like in Gas Gas Gas where "gas" had to be translated to "go" and "car" to "chariot") -- truly a timeless classic!
I think you should stop acting like poetry that uses modern concepts or modern idioms is made with "lower poetic ability."
Greenday didn't use modern words or modern idioms in creating their song, which allows it to be translated to a dead language, and we can draw the conclusion that means Greenday has good poetic ability? How does that follow?
@@Mythraen and I think you should stop putting words in my mouth! I never said any of those things!!
@@TheNodrokov No, they just followed from what you said.
You linked the fact that it didn't need analogous translations to "speaking volumes" about their poetic ability.
That doesn't make any sense.
@@Mythraen I was simply trying to celebrate Green Day's poetic ability, not criticize or demean any other artists. If that "doesn't make any sense" to you, then I feel sorry for you.
@@TheNodrokov Of course it doesn't make sense.
Being able to translate something to Latin doesn't indicate that the original words were high quality poetry.
If that doesn't make sense to you, then I feel sorry for you.

Ah, I remember that summer of AD 69 ... the togas were short, the water didn't have cholera in it so the slaves made us great orange et vino cocktails, and this song was playing in the background as I was skillfully using a vibrating olive branch on the Roman puellae to great effect :)
Truly a song of _all_ centuries.
Очень красиво звучит ! Молодцы!

I got goosebumps like crazy at the fist "solus eo". Don't know why but it's amazing !
Okay but this is the first year of my life in the past 7 years that I haven't been taking any courses in Latin, and now I'm starting Attic Greek. Don't get me wrong, I do love Greek, but this song makes me realize just how much Latin feels like *home* in my heart. I love Latin. It's so comforting and calming to me now.
Good Gaia this rendition is giving me chills. Fantastic job
Bro I need an hour long version of this. it's so good.
That would awesome
It's amazing how well the lyrics fit even in Latin, testament to the song writing of Green Day, the steadfast persistence of Latin, and the translation chops of OP. Well done!
I have no ide how this made it's way to my recommended but I'm so glad. It's amazing!
This has absolutely no right to sound this good, yet it does. What an absolute banger!!!
This is *fantastic*. I’m a total language nerd and even studied Latin in college. Huge congratulations to everyone involved! You all did amazingly. I can’t wait to see what what you do, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else you’ve already done. :D
Also, if it helps your future efforts, there are elision rules for poetry in Latin, and I think song lyrics could totally count. It’s basically a system for contractions. A common one is that if you have “est” (or any form of “sum” that starts with a vowel, really) following a word that ends with a vowel, you can skip pronouncing the first vowel in the verb. So, for example, “umbra est” could be “umbra ‘st” if that would help you fit the syllable count that the song needs better. No worries if that doesn’t help, but I thought I’d mention it just in case it does. :)
Once again, amazing job!
I love this version so much. I keep replaying over and over again. Such a great spin to a great song. I just wish it was a bit longer. Great job.
this is such an incredible work of art. i grew up with this song like a lot of others, heard it all the time as a pre/teen. the reverse-engineering of a contemporary song into an ancient hymn that conjures a sense of being teleported to an ancient era while invoking nostalgia at the same time. it is phenomenal how you guys have transformed a song into something entirely different & stayed so true to its very essence. not to mention IT SOUNDS SO GOOD!!! looking forward to having this stuck in my head for the next few days
masterful work, just amazing. this is art in its purest form
Completely amazing. Latin is a beautiful language.
This is amazing. The vocal, the pronunciation, the translation, the lyrics visible, the wallpaper, it's perfect
History fan and Greenday fan here, just to say thank you very much!
This is incredible love the song, love the bardcore style, love the latin. Just an all around win. Thank you very much.
