this is great my latin teacher showed us this! :)

Hans øberg had no idea his words were so poetic

A song I produced/recorded for my second sem. final last year in Latin 1. I wasn't able to finish it (switched to something else) but I decided to complete it before this year's latin 1 students got to the chapter. Enjoy! Translation: 

Julius' wallet is not small, because in Julius' wallet is money. Julius has a large number of coins and he counts his coins. Aemilia comes, "How many coins are in your wallet?" "There are 100 coins in my wallet." "Surely there is not 100 coins here?" Aemilia says. "Look at the money. I count." 

Coins, coins, coins, coins, coins, coins I have coins. Coins, coins, coins, coins, coins, coins I have coins. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Only ten? Where are my servants?!

"Hello, master! Your servant Medus is here." Davus the slave is not here. "What? Only one slave? Call Davus, Medus!" "Davus, come!" Now two servants are here. "What is it, Medus?" "SH! Silence, servant! In my wallet are only ten coins. Where are the rest of my coins?" "Davus has your money!" "Look! In my wallet is not a single coin!" "Davus is a good slave, he does not have my money! Take your wallet and leave, good servant Davus!" Medus leaves, Medus sees the staff because he has master's money in his wallet! 

Coins, coins, coins, coins, coins, coins I have coins. Coins, coins, coins, coins, coins, coins I have coins. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Only ten? Where is Medus the servant?! 

"Why does Medus not respond?" "Because he is gone, not one servant is here." Julius calls Medus, he does not hear him and does not come. "Why does Medus not come?" "Because he has your money. His wallet is not empty," Aemilia laughs. Julius is angry, he doesn't laugh. Julius is angry. "Where is my staff?!" 

Coins, coins, coins, coins, coins, coins I have coins. Coins, coins, coins, coins, coins, coins I have coins. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
