In this respect, this word is analogous to most of the other possessive pronouns (e.g. your vs. yours), as well as a number of other noun modifiers, such as lone/alone. Historically, my came to be used only before a consonant sound, and later came to be used regardless of the following sound. Nonetheless, mine still sees archaic pre-vocalic use, as may be seen in the 1862 quotation above, and in the most formal of writing even into the 20th century. - en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mine#Etymology_1 In latin, however, there is no need (nor has it ever been attested) to change the word meus, -a, -um (the two hyphenated endings replace -us in their respective forms, as it is how basic forms of adjectives are presented in latin) based on the following sound - the only change that occurs is grammatical case agreement with the noun that meus, -a, -um modifies - in this case "praeda mea": praeda (prey) is in nominative and feminine, so meus, -a, -um changes to agree with it (so feminine nominative - mea).

This was impressive indeed. But don't forget that this is exactly what is done in tens of languages for every Disney song and dialogue: Translating, while keeping meter and meaning utterly intact. You can find a job as good as this in any dub: But this had the added challenge of being more of a trochaic language (since Disney songs are originally in English, their meter can tend to be iambic), and a language that not many still know how to speak colloquially. So, double chapeau to this dub!

there's a reason it's been used in medicine for writing patient diagnoses, like I know some countries such as Germany like to write their discharge papers with diagnoses in German, but that's a problem if the patient goes to another country and then the doctors have no idea what a "Bauchspeicheldrüsenentzündung" is and they have to google translate it. Meanwhile, if they had just written it in Latin as "pankreatitis", then everybody with a medical background would know what it is, especially since most diagnoses are the same in English and Latin. Like if you have a patient with "hypertensio arterialis, diabetes mellitus typus II, status post fractura femoris lat. dex. a.a. V, st. post appendectomiam a.a. XI, st. post infarctus cerebrovascularis a.a. III, CAVE PENICILLIN", most doctors will know the patient's diagnoses regardless of their native language.

Well technically a language evolves every minute, so just throwing all the time the language was talked under the title "Language" is presumptuous. I studied in University ancient civilizations. For instance, the Egyptian language, which was considered living until the early 20th century, covers basically six millennia. One can't reasonably expect the language to be the same in its earliest recorded form, and its latest. So, it's taught as several separate languages, considered parented, but different enough to be considered a new language. Latin pronunciation has evolved from the classical era into several directions because of the way its speakers were divided. You can hear clearly in the way this is sung close sonorities with Italian. But the closest modern language to Latin, in its vulgar form at any rate, is Romanian.

Note, Frollo was actually a priest in the original book, not a judge. Some consider it was because Disney didn't want to make it seem like they were demonizing Christianity. Including have a 'good' priest as a counterpart to Frollo in the movie. But no, the perverted old man who lusted after a beautiful young woman was a priest... So consider that for a moment.

Woah ! In ecclesiastical latin ! You should have a look at the french version, the lyrics are way more mature and elaborated than the english one (i.e. "infernales bacchanales"). Victor Hugo is a genius and you have done one of the greatest tributes i've seen so far.

@@gianinamorales8597 "Infernales" is the adjective of the noun "enfer" (hell), so I guess the English traduction would be "Hellish"?

In short, it's a fancy way to say: "What a f... sex party!"

It would have been cool to have had the guard speak in the traditional French pronunciation of Latin. After the fall of the West, there were many regional ways that Latin was pronounced. Eventually, the Holy See mandated that the traditional Italian pronunciation be used, and now most schools teach the restored classical pronunciation.

Thanks for sparking the interest in me !

I like that the lyrics are actually more dramatic in Latin, “lascivum vulgus” sounds (at least to me) more condescending than the English equivalent, and “fecisti Satan fortiorem homine” sounds more like an accusation than expressing powerlessness. Maybe it’s because I don’t know too much Latin, but I really like how the Latin lyrics are. Also, Ecclesiastical Latin sounds really poetic with this song in particular (I read the description mentioning meter), and I think it was the better choice with this song.

As a former traditional catholic seminarian, I really appreciate that !

The is exactly what I was looking for. Most covers of hellfire don’t have enough vibrato for me. I just think this song could use the extra drama and depth it brings. With the movie being in a historical setting and this song leaning particularly into that aesthetic by putting this in a liturgical language I feel like a more classical sound fits better than the more contemporary sound I tend to see used for this.

The singers voice is so enchanting and majestic! I’ve listened to this countless times and I appreciate it more and more as time goes on. So well done. The writer did a superb job on the lyrics as well. 10/10 content! Will continue to rewatch regularly 👌🏻
