SALLY'S SONG · REGILLAE CARMEN

This unique and fascinating performance of the beloved song from Danny Elfman and Tim Burton's 1993 "The Nightmare Before Christmas" incorporates *both* Ecclesiastical and Classical Pronunciations.
In this performance Aurora Van Bel uses a Late Latin pronunciation similar to the one heard at the end of Luke's performance of "Jack's Lament" ( youtu.be/iQleLmFkZAo ), which is a transitional stage between Classical and Ecclesiastical Latin. This is to emphasize Jack's discontent with either the Halloween or Christmas world, and ultimately to signify that the unique, the special melody of existence he seeks is in the very voice of Sally. Sally is what he longs for, and she for him.
The text has been rendered masterfully by Stefano Vittori in true Ancient Roman poetic meter, the very soul of Latin, so well as to surpass the power of even the original lyrics.

Spīrante in ventō sēnsibus
quiddam servātum in nōs venit.
Et, quamvīs esse ūnā volō,
nōn solvō cor praesāgiō:
ad portam stat; mātūruit.
Id lentus sentīs,
quod nōs adfēcit?
At tū nescīs,
quid nōbīs ipse sīs,
et lentus praeterīs.
Mī cārum pignus quō ruit?
Quō multōs ūnus corripit?
Fautrīcem sī fautrīcibus
cōnfundō vōcem vōcibus,
vēcors paeān obmūtuit.
At cum nōn nōlēs,
candēscent sōlēs.
At tū nōn vīs.
et tū nūmquam volēs.
At tū nōn noster es.
Comment:
Now Rēgilla is alone, far from society, which doesn't understand her: they're multī, without a true critical personality, and follow their ūnus. They're victims of this latter's foolish dream inspired by some deus nōn bene advocātus, who filled their voices with a vēcors paeān. She's also far from his beloved one. She's the sole who truly loves him, prō quō eī sunt magna bella pugnāta, but he is a Narcissist who loves himself and because of that he prefers the superficial admiration of the masses. He's also lentus, something Ovid's Penelope says of Ulixes. He doesn't come to her and doesn't come back to her, who pertains to him since the very beginning of time. The song is full of Catullus of Ovid's spirit. Metrically speaking, the syllables are all long but the penultimate, which is like a breath break after a doubt. Even among the simple vowels there's a high amount of long ones: the song has few verses but the time is suspended. A brief, yet everlasting, desperate, heart breaking cry of love.
