The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Excitate vos e somno, liberi mei
Cunae non sunt
Excitate vos e somno, liberi fatali
Somnus non eat

Veni hortum veritatis
Horti verna veritatis
Ardente veritate
Urite mala mundi

Incedite tenebras mundi
Velete, liberi

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
From Final Fantasy VIII, it is the theme played when a Sorceress is taking part in the story.
English: (I can't find a translation for the chorus):
Wake from your sleep My children, your childhood years are gone Wake from your sleep Fated children, your rest if gone
Arise! Search! Go the the true garden The garden of spring's truth
With fiery truth burn the evils of this world With fiery truth light the darkness of the world Farewell children The day has died.
YES YES. One guy who understands great music of Nobuo. No i mean theres millions and millions of people who love his music but i mean on this site. And by chance his name is one winged angel. Nobuo Uematsu is truely great mind.
On the chorus. I question the Latin here. My Latin is far from perfect, but..
Fit hos lux ec vicos vito set.
Fit and lux go together, hos and vicos, and the ec with either, despite how it's sung.
"Fit lux (ec)" is "(this one, that I was I just talking about) light is made."
"Vicos" is a village.
"Vito set" is "but I shun."
So.. "This light is made, but I shun this village." I've never played FF8, but it seems to me that this is about a peace or prosperity, liberation from evil, being brought.. but one city is not given the light. The city remains in the dark. Perhaps the city that the fated children are from? They must rise up and bring the light to the city?
Actually, Fithos Lusec Wecos Dinosec isn't latin at all. It is a clever scramble of words made to appear as latin.
It doesnt match up you say? Dont Forget, Succession Of Witches is one of the two themes the game deals with.Well I admit we do have four letters left over. The letters L O V E. Which happens to be the other theme of the Game. Pretty Cool, Great Powerful song too.

Well, I don't know whether it's Latin or not, but the above idea seems pretty cool/plausible to moi. I got FF8 on Sunday - today is Tuesday - and the opening - avec this in the background - is absolutely stunning.
{Final Fantasy is an RPG, the only one that I need, it's the RPG for me...}
Everyone heard that Chocobo mix? Good. newgrounds.com/portal/view/58184
Hell this song rocks. Thanks for the translations. FF8 rocks, Nobuo Uematsu rocks, and One Winged Angel rocks, 'cause of his name...ah to hell with it...YOU ALL ROCK FOR LIKING NOBUO'S WORK!
The best FF game by far, and best FF music.
one of his best but i think FF8 is one of the worst FF games. STILL KICKS ASS THOUGH! but im stuck on that F***ing sorceress at the beginning of disc 4 and its impossible! im trapped in that place and i can leave to go level up. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!
Go back to disc 3 and level up there.
If you look it up on Wikipedia, it implies that "fithos lusec wecos vinosec" means succession of witches. It also mentions that "Liberi Fatali" means fated children. Apparently, it was supposed to say "Liberi Fatales" though.
