Translate English into Latin

Quote:

one day, your heart will be mine

cor tuum olim meum erit

Note however that the ancients did not use "heart" the way we do, meaning "affections" or "love," but would instead probably use animus (lit. "spirit")--so, I would personally prefer

animus tuus olim meus erit

to preserve the metaphor.

But then, I'm sort of a Classical elitist. Choose your own adventure (or tattoo, or whatever).

Quote:

divided by hate , united by love

divisi odio, amore coniuncti

That, of course, is based on my assumption that we're talking about two people, one male, one female. We all know what happens when you assume, though...

Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone can translate the following as possible mottos for my airsoft group!

"Let God sort them out"

and

"Here comes the pain"

Of course, it depends entirely on which one sounds the coolest! Hopefully one of you Latin wizards can help...

Here are my suggestions:

Quote:

"Let God sort them out"

Deus istos excernat

This one is kinda cool because the word I've used for "them" (istos) has vague connotations of condescension and distaste.

Quote:

"Here comes the pain"

either Dolor aggreditur (lit. "pain approaches, pain is coming") or Ecce dolor (lit. "behold pain, here is the pain").

Niiiiiice!

Thank you so much qfwfq. Those condescending tones are cool indeed. I really appreciate the help.

Hi,

How do you translate "You'll never walk alone" into latin? I was thinking of getting a tattoo and would like it to say the correct thing. I would highly appreciate if someone could help me out with this!

I would translate that:
Nunquam solus ambulabis

BUT -- please have someone else review this before comitting to a tattoo.
I'm not a professional Latin scholar, just some guy who does this for fun.

"You'll never walk alone"

I concur with George.

Although it's worth pointing out that if you're addressing a female, you would change solus to sola. For some reason that phrase strikes me as possibly romantic in nature (either that or religious).

Yep, I should have pointed out the diffent endings per gender.
"You'll never walk alone" is the title of an inspirational song,
so there are religious overtones.

Say, George, I forgot to mention this when you were down here in NYC but several years ago while I was in the service a bunch of us got a little whacked with some WAFs in Monterey CA. We had danced on the beach until almost dawn and --well, you don't need to know all the details, it's just that I fell asleep outside of the Four Roses Tattoo Parlor and when I woke up my back felt like it was on fire. I ran down to beach and jumped in which was not a good thing to do. Hurt even more.

Anyway, to make an incredibly odd story even odder, someone had apparently tattooed a Latin inscription on my back and I have never been able to get a translation of it. Can you help?

Here goes:

O sibili, si ergo
Fortibus est en ero
Nobili, demis trux
Sewa tis imum
Lamsendux

Not surprisingly, Joe is having us on.
The trick is to say it out loud.

The first two lines sound like:
Oh, see, Billy! See 'er go!
Forty buses in a row.

...and so on.

Whacked with some WAFs, indeed!

I once had an Episcopalian priest and Catholic Monsignor sweating bullets while they tried to figure out 'demis trux'.

Here's how I would translated that:
Id quod ex nobis superstabunt amor est

Now, bear in mind that I am not a professional Latin scholar. I just do this
for fun. Have someone else review this befor getting a tattoo. I hear they
don't erase too easily.
