Thank you Gale for throwing the grapes into the wine soup so we won't get a hungover.

The rest of the camp is thrilled.

I kept seeing this cold wall/sleep arrangement meme and wanted to give it my own spin, I hope this has been informative.

remember when some guy “translated” the “lyrics” from the elden ring boss themes and people made lore posts and videos analyzing their implications when the “lyrics” were actually just meaningless syllables and the guy was just making shit up

[l4mplight]

it kinda happened with bloodborne too, there are a few videos of the “Latin lyrics” out there and it’s like guys. They just made the choir sing vaguely Latin gibberish with a few real words (your sanguine sanctums, etc) in there for vibes

also shouldn’t it be like sanguinus sanctus or something if it’s conjugated correctly? i dunno i took latin years ago. anyway. it’s just for vibes that’s the point

the harpy song has got actual really cool lore Latin lyrics though if that’s your vibe

[blasphemousclaw]

actually, the Bloodborne ost really does have some real Latin lyrics (unlike the other souls games)! the youtube channel Antonius Tertius has transcribed and confirmed the actual Latin lyrics for Laurence and Ludwig’s themes with the producers (and personally I can hear these lyrics in the music pretty clearly). as for the accuracy of the Latin, like with the phrase “sanguine sanctum,” @nuadha-airgeadlamh can explain the Latin grammar better than I can lol

you are correct that there is a lot of misinformation going around about the Bloodborne lyrics though, one thing that annoyed me was that someone made a lyric video for Laurence’s theme that has a bunch of incorrect Latin lyrics and it has WAY more views than the one with the correct lyrics that I linked earlier!

and re: the harpy song, I actually literally just did an analysis of it a few days ago in this post haha, it’s the one song from elden ring that has real Latin lyrics

[lanternminister]

I can say a few things about this! as Antonius Tertius explains in his video about Bloodborne’s music production, the Latin lyrics for Bloodborne’s songs aren’t composed originally in Latin. The lyrics are translated into Latin from English by the music producers at Sony, with input in the form of lore phrases in Japanese from Miyazaki and the other writers. The primary emphasis when the producers were writing the lyrics wasn’t on making coherent Latin sentences, but on creating aesthetically appropriate vocals for the boss fights themselves. This means that they, on many occasions, break grammar rules in order to choose the syllables that sound best in the song itself. 

Antonius Tertius does a great breakdown of the proper grammar vs the broken grammar of the lyrics in the videos @slavonicrhapsody has linked above. To use the specific example you mention, ‘sanguine sanctum’ appears many times throughout “Laurence, the First Vicar.” The declension endings in this phrase don't match; it should be appearing in its nominative “sanguis sanctus” or its accusative “sanguinem sanctum” respectively depending on the specific grammatical functions it's serving in the song's lyrics.

So, to summarize, Bloodborne is unique in that it does contain several songs with Latin lyrics, but the grammar is stretched in order for a better sound musically. The volume of misinformation spread about the music from the Soulsborne games, and especially Bloodborne, is honestly insane. if you want to learn more, i would highly recommend checking out Antonius Tertius’s videos; he was the one who exposed those fake Latin lyrics from Elden Ring someone was peddling a while ago. The lyrics he provides for “Ludwig, the Holy Blade” and “Laurence, the First Vicar” are confirmed and provided by the music producers themselves.

I can tell who’s really played Baldur’s Gate 3 and who hasn’t by who mfs think is the horniest one or not. If a mf says “astarion” then I know they ain’t far because Astarion is flirtatious and catty, he’s not horny. Halsin is the horny one. Halsin is the biggest Hornball in the party. Mf those scars on his face are not from battle
