buat kamu yang pengen lulus
May 15th, 2008 by admintiap hari kerjaan saya adalah dengerin lagu De Brevitate Vitae (on the Shortness of Life) alias Gaudeamus Igitur – lebih dikenal dengan judul ini karena bait pertamanya dinyanyikan demikian – maksudnya sih, biar terus ada semangat di semester penghujung ini dan segera lulus amin amin amin (mohon para pembaca berkenan meng-amin-i ya..maturnuwun.) 
Lagu ini menjadi lagu sakral dan penting di kalangan akademisi Eropa dari jaman dahoeloe kala, walopun (katanya) makna lagunya juga ga’ sakral-sakral banget..yaah apapun itu, yang bikin sakral buat saya adalah buat dengerin lagu ini dinyanyikan sama paduan suara kampus, kita harus melewati ribuan ujian mulai dari SD sampai memakai Toga dan digeser talinya sama pak Dekan yang tangannya mungkin diusulkan untuk diganti tangan robot saja…capek bos! 
Ini dia syair lagu Gaudeamu Igitur..klo ada yang pengen lagunya, silaken berikan alamat imelnya..

| Gaudeamus igitur
Juvenes dum sumus. Post jucundam juventutem Post molestam senectutem Nos habebit humus. |
Let us rejoice therefore
While we are young. After a pleasant youth After the troubles of old age The earth will have us. |
| Ubi sunt qui ante nos
In mundo fuere? Vadite ad superos Transite in inferos Hos si vis videre. |
Where are they
Who were in the world before us? Go up to heaven Or cross over into hell If you wish to see them. |
| Vita nostra brevis est
Brevi finietur. Venit mors velociter Rapit nos atrociter Nemini parcetur. |
Our life is brief
It will be finished all too soon. Death comes quickly We are cruelly snatched away. No one is spared. |

Vivant professores! Vivat membrum quodlibet Vivant membra quaelibet Semper sint in flore. |

et qui illam regit. Vivat nostra civitas, Maecenatum caritas Quae nos hic protegit. |
Long live the state as well
And he who rules it! Long live our city [And] the charity of benefactors Which protects us here! |

Pereant osores. Pereat diabolus, Quivis antiburschius Atque irrisores. |
Let sadness perish!
Let haters perish! Let the devil perish! Let whoever is anti-student Who laughs at us, perish! |
