Stetit Puella Lyrics

Stetit puella
Rufa tunica
Si quis eam tetigit
Tunica crepuit
Heiß, heiß wie Blut
Heiß, heiß wie Blut
Es war die junge Maid
Rot im roten Kleid
Wer ihr Kleid berührt
Hat die Glut gespürt
Zeig mir die Glut
Wie dein Blut so rot
Zeig mir die Glut, zeig mir die Glut
Wie dein Blut so rot
Stetit puella
Tamquam rosula
Facie splenduit
Et os eius floruit
Heiß, heiß wie Blut
Heiß, heiß wie Blut
Wie die Rose rot
Hat sie hell geloht
Antlitz hat geglüht
Roter Mund geblüht
Zeig mir die Glut ...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Stettit Puella Rufa tunica Si quis eam tetigit Tunica crepuit Hot, hot as blood Hot, hot as blood Was the young maiden Red in the red gown Who thouched her gown Had felt the heat Show me the heat Red as your blood Show me the heat, show me the heat Red as your blood Stetit puella Tanquam rosula Facie spenduit Et os eius floruit Hot, hot as blood Hot, hot as blood Red like the rose She burned (?) bright Face had glowed Red mouth bloomed Show me the heat..."

My latin from school is much to bad to translate the latin lines, but the german ones give a very good impression of this songs meaning. Puella is latin and means "girl" if I recall it correctly. Tunica is "gown" I think, rosula "the rose", splenduit is related to the english "splendour" and floruit could mean "blooming".

Once again a song about passion, but I think the most romantic song I've ever heard.
