Turris alta amor.
-- Ten Storey Love Song ['94] -- The Stone Roses --
[Translation of this Latin see further on !!]
Es corde pullo et fracto
inope alicui te iuvare
et amore tam perdito
quam nescias quantum iam
pati non possis
errabunda est tua quaestio
et silentio manum infert
prende dextram, mea, tuus sum
utrique habeo amorem abunde.
Turris alta amor
hanc erexi tibi
quis te altius feras
quam Dióskouroì
etiam, hanc erexi tibi
amo sine finibus.
Ardor non item altus aeterne
in caelo transversumvolatur
nullum apertum in muro erecto
ad te abstinendum a me
dum his in tenebris cubas insomne
hac nocte sempiterna
propediem nescio quando nec ubi
experrecta eris et videris lumen.
Turris alta amor
hanc erexi tibi
quis te altius ferat
quam Dióskouroì
etiam, hanc erexi tibi
amo sine finibus.

-- LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE LATIN --
[are you with heart sad-black and broken
requiring someone to help you
and by love so lost
that you wouldn't know how much anymore
you wouldn't be able to stand
going-nowhere is your search
and the silence makes you want to kill yourself
take (my) right (hand), my love ("mine"), yours I am
for-each I have love abundantly.]
[a high tower love (is)
this I have erected for you
who could take you higher/deeper [altus!!]
than the "Sons of Zeus"
indeed, this I have erected for you
I love without boundaries.]
[fire/passion not even/same high eternally
in the sky one flies without shortcuts
no opening in the wall erected
so as to keep you away from me
while in this darkness you lie dream-/sleeplessly
on this night everlasting
soon don't know when and not where
you will have woken up and seen the light.]
