So, I have started singing the german versions of disney songs to practice my german. It helps out massively with my vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. In any case, I also sing decently, so have started up a series which I may expand. I will start with the songs by the various kickass villains, and go from there--maybe expanding to certain songs in latin too, but that may be a while.
Here be the first installment. Hellfire, sung by Frollo during his descent into madness in the Hunchback of Notre Dame
I have translated the song into Latin, with Havoc's assistance. Performance to come as soon as I can figure out an issue with my microphone
Beata maria
You are aware I am virtuous and holy
The blood of christ has washed my soul
(Translated)
Beata Maria
Scis me virtuosus et sanctus
Sanguis Christi lavit animus
Priests:
Et tibit Pater
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
the sinful people whom I govern
(Trans)
Beata Maria
Scitis me tanto purior
Populus quem peccator regitur
Priests:
Quia peccavi nimis
Please tell me, Maria
Why she dances in my mind?
Why my soul boils with her glance?
(trans)
Dic mihi, Maria
Quare quæ choros in animum?
Cur animus ulcera eius aspectu?
Priests:
Cogitatione
I see and feel her
The sun caught in raven locks
Causes a conflagration inside my heart
(trans)
Video sentiunt eam
Sol corvus inhaereas comam
Causae cor meum intra incendium
Priests:
Verbo et opere
Like fire
Hell-fire
This fire in my skin
this seething
Desire
creates my crimes
(Translated)
ut ignis
Gehennae
Hic ignis in cute
hanc succensam
cupiditas
mea facit scelera
Am I responsible?

Auctor ego?
Priests:
Mea culpa
Was I in control?

Mea culpa
It is the gypsy-girl
who set these fires

Mea maxima culpa
Am I responsible?

Auctor ego?
The Lord Wills It
(trans)
Dominus vult
He begat Satan to deceive all men
(trans)
Genuit Satan omnibus ad fallendum
Priests:
Mea maxima culpa
Protect me, Maria
Save me from this succubus
Her sorcery will burn my flesh
Destroy Esmeralda
Let her be violated in hell
Or else let her belong to me and me alone
(trans)
Protegat me, Maria!
Salva me ex succubus
Caro mea magia eius exuret
Solvite Esmeralda
Sit violari in gehennam
Vel ipsa ad mei et me solum
Guard:
Minister Frollo et Vivamus Fugit
Frollo:
Quid?
Guard:
Cum diutius apud ecclesia. Abiit
Frollo:
Sed quomodo? Lorem ipsum. Duis te fatuus
Ego inveni eam. Inveniam si ad illa cremare de Paris!
Hell-fire
evil-fire
Gypsy, you will choose
Choose me or
your pyre
Be mine or you will burn
(trans)
Gehennae
mala ignem
Vivamus vos mos sumo
Donec vel mei
tua busta
Esto mihi aut exuret
Priests:
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on her
(Trans)
Deus misereatur illa
Priests:
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on me
(trans)
Miserere mei deus
Priests:
Kyrie Eleison
But I shall taste her
or she burns!
(trans)
Sed gustus illa
ipsa ardet!

Your pronunciation is a bit off at times but otherwise, that's some definitely acceptable german.
And why in Valen's name is it 'pronounce' for the verb but 'pronunciation' for the noun?
