"O Caritas" by Cat Stevens

hunc ornatum mundi 
nolo perdere 
video flagrare 
omnia res 
audio clamare 
homines 
nunc extinguitur 
mundi et astrorum lumen 
nunc concipitur 
mali hominis crimen 
tristitate et lacrimis 
gravis est dolor 
de terraque maribus 
magnus est clamor 
O caritas, O caritas 
nobis semper sit amor 
nos perituri mortem salutamus 
sola resurgit vita 
Ah, this world is burning fast 
Oh, this world will never last 
I don't want to lost it here in my time 
Give me time forever here in my time. 
  
Translation of Latin: 
(I don't want to lose the harmony of the universe 
I see all things... burning, I hear men... shouting. 
Now is the light of the world and the stars going out 
Now does the blame for the disaster fall upon men. 
Grief is heavy with sadness and tears 
Great is the noise from the earth and the seas 
O love, O love be with us always. 
We who will perish salute death. Life alone goes on.)
