What are the full lyrics to the song from The Binding of Isaac - Cathedral's theme?

It sounds like Latin (And even if it isn't, what are the translated lyrics?).



Best Answer

"Libero ne tu salve" are the lyrics. Translating this is not straight forward, but you have interpret it almost? It basically translates to "I shall not let you leave unharmed" OR "You will exit of here without being harmed".

Two totally different meanings, but my Latin is a bit sketchy and google translate sucks at translating Latin.

The official title of this song is Lament of the Angel by Danny Baranowsky.

Answer 2

Libero = free, or rescue, or deliver; no is a negative like not; tu is you; Salve is well or in good health.

So something like 'you [are] not free in good health?

I have the hunch its not a complete latin sentence. Did a few years in high school and usually latin sentences end with the verb, and salve is not a verb.

Comment on the youtube video seems to have a better guess on the meaning, which works with my translation: "You shall not be freed without harm..."

EDIT: Rereading my answer from years ago, I feel important to say that in Latin, the structure of sentences is bonkers. Try speaking like Yoda. thats the sentence structure we are dealing with. Dont think you can just translate the latin to english and have a good idea of the sentence.
