Verba Carminis / Latin Lyrics with elisions and contractions for singing:

Cur sunt carmina totque, et tanta, de pluvīs arcibus?
Arcus sunt somnia, sed modo sim'lacra — nil celatur iridibus.
Sic nobis traditum'st, sic credunt quidam.
Errar' eos ego scio.
Quond'invenjemus: iridis connexum
amantes, somnjantes, ego.

Exoptatum posse fieri quis dixit si sol' oratā stellā.
Aliquis credenti hoc enarraverat
deludens sperantem?
Quid mirum sit ut stellas sic spectemus? quidn' exspectemus? id quaero.
Quond'invenjemus: iridis connexum
amantes, somnjantes, ego.

Omnes nunc incantati
nos scimus magic' ess'hanc artem

Semisomnis eras, et voces audisti?
Me vocarunt nomine.
Hocine Sirenes qu'alliciunt nautam?
An Clio'tque Calliope?
Non eam djutjus ignorare possum
metamorphosin mi denuo.
Quond'invenjemus: iridis connexum
amantes, somnjantes, ego.

La da da di da da du
ba da da da ra di da du
