Servate servos

Salve! This is my first ever translation in Latin. This is ‘Serve the servants’ by Nirvana. Please feel free to correct me, because I’m not good at it. Gratias!

Timor pueri absolvabitur Nunc sum amarus et vetus Constituti sui iudices iudicant Ultra quae vediderant

Si ea volet, non est Maga ut putabamus Solutum in alieno Aedificio Salemis

Servate servos, heu Hoc divortium fabularis est tamen amarum

Ut mei osses creverunt, doluerunt Doluerunt tamen melius Probabo durus habere patrem Sed habui tata

Volo tuam scire quod Non iam odi tuum Est nihil potui dicere Quod non putavi primum

Original lyrics:

Teenage angst has paid off well Now I'm bored and old Self-appointed judges judge More than they have sold

If she floats then she is not A witch like we thought A downpayment on another One at Salem's lot

Serve the servants, oh no Serve the servants, oh no Serve the servants, oh no Serve the servants That legendary divorce is such a bore

As my bones grew, they did hurt They hurt really bad I tried hard to have a father But instead, I had a dad

I just want you to know that I Don't hate you anymore There is nothing I could say That I haven't thought before

[latinski]

Salve!

In universitate Iures studeo. Notabile mihi videntur, sed difficilis frenum est. A frenum.

Temple of Jupiter (Baalbek).

The Temple of Jupiter stands on a platform called the Grand Terrace, the outer wall of which is made of huge, finely-crafted stone blocks, each weighing about 408 tonnes.  Above these is another layer of visible stones.  Within this layer are the Trilithon – three massive stone blocks that weigh over 907 tonnes each.

The Trilithon stones within the foundation.

Corner Trilithon stone.

Centre Trilithon stone.

A dressed stone (above) lies in a quarry about 900m away from the temple complex, probably waiting to be transported to the site.  This is the Stone of the Pregnant Woman, weighing around 1,125 tonnes.

Another, even larger, monolith was found in the 1990s.  Estimated to be nearly 1,500 tonnes, it is, according to the German Archaeological Institute, “the biggest boulder known from antiquity”.

The second monolith.
