CHORUS
salvē, salvē,
multa mihi loquenda!
ignosce mihi,
multa mihi discenda!

VERSE 1
nescio quōmodo dīcam multās rēs
sed verba mox habēbīmus nōs omnēs

VERSE 2
exspectā mē meminisse quid dīcam
fortasse nōs discēmus rem novam

VERSE 3
verbōrum, sine dubiō, oblīviscēmur
sed gaudēre colloquiō cōnēmur!

Translation:
CHORUS:
Hello, hello,
I've got a lot to say!
Forgive me,
I've got a lot to learn!

V1
I don't know how to say many things,
But soon we will all have the words

V2
Wait for me to remember what I should say,
Maybe we will learn a new thing

V3
Without a doubt, we will forget the words,
But let's try to enjoy the conversation!
