@Marechal Zolotoy Actually recreational drug use was very common in the cultures of Antiquity more so in the among "Civilized" peoples . In fact if you were a roman in addition to alcohol ways of getting lit included ‘cretic wine’ a drinkable form opium, cannabis, and DMT secreting fish called Sea Breams. Interestingly enough the Greek Physician Dioscoride becomes one first medical professionals to commit to writing that opium "kills" if over-ingested. Fun Bonus Fact: Marcus Aurelius may have been one the first notable recorded cases of prescription opioid addiction as his doctor gave him opium for chronic chest pains and soon he became to unable to sleep with out it.

This song went from being heard on the radio while drinking some beer in cans to being sung and played on a lyre while drinking honeyed wine from a goblet. Excellent work!
I think it would be like Marty McFly playing Johnny B Goode in Back to the Future. "Guess you guys aren't ready for that... but your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great....great-great-great-grandkids are gonnn love it."
@@whiteipod2000 depends what time period you went back to. The song more or less boils down the message of a troubled and angsty youth which is a pretty universal topic no matter the time period or location. And Rome did love its Poets and Storytellers so you would probably get away with it so long as you weren't disturbing the peace.
in Germany, Baveria to be specific, it's common to greed each other with "Servus!" As a kid it was just another word for hello for me when we got explained that this actually means slave our little kiddo brain were blown no idea when that got common and why it's still a thing
In Brazil, "salve" is the same as a slang that came from the ghettos, and it means "hello/hi", more like "whats up". Since portuguese is a child of latin, that's awesome to see something so informal and "underground" having a cult background.

Nah, there is a parallel universe where the 50s brought up a wave of bardcore that persists into the 21st century.

Yeah imagine learning Latin with a weird pronounciation that would make every Roman think you are a uneducated Barbarian visiting for shady reasons and then also find out there is different versions of Latin
Weird Al: "Hey Kurt can I do a cover of 'Smells like Teen Spirit'?" Kurt Cobain: "Well, are you going to make it about food?" Weird Al: "...No, I was going to make it about how no one can understand your lyrics" Kurt Cobain: "Oh, that's cool then" (Paraphrased, but, that's how it basically went)
A guy singing this in the Colosseum in Rome after the show nearly died drinking too much wine and taking medicine. He was found in the new world with a sword though his mouth and they called it suicide. He was married to a woman that everyone said was like cleopatra and made men fall in love with them and then bad things happen.
@@elickson7340 though certainly most European languages were influenced by Latin, most European languages in fact don't derive from Latin. They do however have a common ancestor in Indo-European. Well except for Finnish and maybe some small regional languages.
I'm still super impressed how good "oblectate, nunc hic sumus" (roughly "make sport, we're here now") is as a translation of "here we are now, entertain us" both lyrically and in terms of meaning.
Are you not entertained????? Yeah that's what satan and his angels are saying to you and me when we listen to worldly music. They're the beings imbuing us with the horrendous attitudes that we have, were supposed to have GOD'S spirit but I'm afraid it's the other way around, may GOD help us, Christ is coming back soon..
Actually since Latin has influenced so many languages, learning Latin can allow you to somewhat understand words in various languages, and figure out the meaning of words in English without research.
@@xXSUBJECT4Xx modern English is full of slightly altered or unmodified Latin words... Even more so than German and that has alot of Latin in it as well... Meaning: you know more Latin than you think, when you´re speaking Western-European Languanges :)
Our last day of Latin IV, the teacher just let us do what we want, and that included turning on the radio. Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came on, and it felt quite an appropriate moment for that song. Finding this was quite a recollection of that. Very impressive, even just the contemporarily adaptive translation!

There’s still debate if it was really him or his wife who stabbed him
@@carsoncasmirri3874 definitely his wife
@@archise3191 i told I had a great suspicious on his wife
The fact that this song sounds so good in latin proves that Nirvana is high quality music and that Kurt Cobain was a pure genius.🖤😎👍
We need more Latin covers. This just sounds too good.
Damn yes
GSI Productions all the other kids with their pumped up sandals
I really would love to see an ABBA one.
Just work more on the pronunciation...
Revive the language
In a parallel universe, this is the original version of the song, and Nirvana made an inspired cover of it.
Maybe nirvana secretly coppied the real version
That's some Battlestar Galactica level stuff
Imagine there being some universe where Greensleeves is just a bardcore cover of some 19th/20th century pop-chart hit.
@@Planeman516from Killing Joke
Nah, there is a parallel universe where the 50s brought up a wave of bardcore that persists into the 21st century. And just like there was a period where people latinised their names, that will also make a return. Who remembers Michaelus Jacksonius and his hit Malus, and the cover Crassus by īnsolitum Al
1st listen: hmmm I'm not sure about this
2nd listen: yeah it's ok I guess, still not 100%
20th listen: SALVÉ SALVÉ SALVÉ PARVE
I studied Latin for 6 years 25 years ago. I never spoke nor sang it. However, I was singing along on the first listen.
I wonder if this song would actually be any good to actual Romans...
@@juliusfucik4011 I'm sure if you presented it as a piece from 2000 years hence, where men have gone mad and the world has become incomprehensible that you'd have at least a few people into it.
@@juliusfucik4011 I've always wanted to study or learn Latin myself, never had the opportunity
I bet you mispronounced salve. In latin the v does not have the same sound as in english
@@MastemaJack I know it doesnt, just like the song showed :), I dont only speak English
Ah yes, the ancient lyre musician Kurtus Conbanus. Not only did he inspire many musicians with his lyre playing, but he also inspired Michaelangelo by redecorating a ceiling 😂

Best dad joke ever.
'Hello, hello, hello, how low' still rhyming and having the same meter in Latin is sick
I can imagine this is what Nero played on his fiddle, when Rome burned.
negátío! negátío! negátío! negátío! negátío! in negátío est Nero caesar.
I mean it wasnt a fiddle, the fiddle wasnt invented until 1500. Itwas most likely a lute or lyra or something. But yeah if he heard this song back then he would love it
Unfortunately, our modern concept of harmonies were yet undeveloped, so it would likely have been met with confusion and concerned looks.
@@consumerproducts nah m8 they had dis shit in ancient greece

Nothing but facts good sir
Yeah cause there are no churches built yet
@@Lodinn Except the Germanic "Church" is a mistranslation meaning "building." The original "Ecclisiarchia" was more akin to a "Gathering of people" which can be done anywhere indoors or outdoors. So, once again, the Germanic butchers the Classical Greek tongue.
@Kelly 33 Yeah, but he is describing them, and he is from the modern era, so he calls them teenagers. If you're gonna be a know-it-all, at least get your facts straight
This is the best thing I've ever heard.
The 6 years of Latin I took did not prepare me for this
🤣😆🤣
👍💪
Me too. They make it sound so easy and easier to understand
Yeah ahahahah 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah imagine learning Latin with a weird pronounciation that would make every Roman think you are a uneducated Barbarian visiting for shady reasons and then also find out there is different versions of Latin
@@Bruh-hq1hx i studied Latin for 5 years and I learned last year that my pronunciation was completely made up
_This tune is more lit than Rome in Nero's days..._
🤣 Clever
By the gods lol
Finally a reference I understand here 😂
Ha ha very good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
AHAHAHAHA
The irony is no one can understand it when it's sung in English either.
Weird Al: "Hey Kurt can I do a cover of 'Smells like Teen Spirit'?"
Kurt Cobain: "Well, are you going to make it about food?"
Weird Al: "...No, I was going to make it about how no one can understand your lyrics"
Kurt Cobain: "Oh, that's cool then"
(Paraphrased, but, that's how it basically went)
@Rat I can't, don't know how many times I have heard the song. I can understand maybe 50%.
you are supposed to read the lyrics inside the cover of NEVERMIND
I can
This month’s observation of the month winner.
The fact that smells like teen spirit sounds awesome in latin is a testament of kurtus cobanus.
I like Nero's rendition "Smells Like Rome is Burning"
Shit, better grab my fiddle and play along before the song ends
That would be "smoke on the water" I guess, the water being the river right next to the city
Hahahahaha. Fucking amazing
and then he starts singing jingle bells but in japanese

I guess this is how all Latin language students can use their degree lol

RUclips: "HEY KID WANNA LISTEN TO LATIN NIRVANA"
Me: "...sure show me what you got"
A guy singing this in the Colosseum in Rome after the show nearly died drinking too much wine and taking medicine. He was found in the new world with a sword though his mouth and they called it suicide. He was married to a woman that everyone said was like cleopatra and made men fall in love with them and then bad things happen.
Right you are. It seems that Kurt got in trouble in Rome more often than in any other places. Even if it was before Courtney.
You forgot to mention he left behind 1 child
Requiescat in pace, oh Curtus Kobainus!
Im gonna be honest... this has inspired me to learn latin.

@@elickson7340 not all languages evolved from latin
@@scordatura9259 well all European languages and the one I'm speaking right now
@@elickson7340 though certainly most European languages were influenced by Latin, most European languages in fact don't derive from Latin. They do however have a common ancestor in Indo-European. Well except for Finnish and maybe some small regional languages.
@@liam3491 I'm Italian and my language definitely evolved from Latin. That's why in my country we study it in most high-schools
The amazing things people put up. Another example of why I LOVE RUclips.
Sad to think about Kurotus Cobainus taking his own life with that ballista.
It isn't sure it was suicide, a lot of things make think it was homicide... but anyway, we miss him!
Idk why but I feel like this would have made Kurt Cobain laugh
It was more like Cortnius Loveus having him murdered, but yes, it is still very sad. There went my hero!
His work lives on in Nirvanous
@@adeltoral Missed out on Courtneus Amare.
I'm giving this an actual thumbs up, like in the Colosseum.

WHY WOULD YOU KILL THIS BEAUTIFUL ART?! :Gasps in gay:
I'm still super impressed how good "oblectate, nunc hic sumus" (roughly "make sport, we're here now") is as a translation of "here we are now, entertain us" both lyrically and in terms of meaning.
i dont learn latin language, i dont listen to Nirvana, but this video is a masterpiece. i got goosebumps while listening to this
Here we are now, entertain us. Are you not entertained? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
Holy shit milk came outta nose !

Good one hahaha
Are you not entertained????? Yeah that's what satan and his angels are saying to you and me when we listen to worldly music. They're the beings imbuing us with the horrendous attitudes that we have, were supposed to have GOD'S spirit but I'm afraid it's the other way around, may GOD help us, Christ is coming back soon..

Now strives to get an A+ so that I can translate smash mouth into Latin.
Actually since Latin has influenced so many languages, learning Latin can allow you to somewhat understand words in various languages, and figure out the meaning of words in English without research.
@@xXSUBJECT4Xx indeed. Especially if you are into medicine or botany.
@@xXSUBJECT4Xx modern English is full of slightly altered or unmodified Latin words... Even more so than German and that has alot of Latin in it as well...
Meaning: you know more Latin than you think, when you´re speaking Western-European Languanges :)

Curtus Cobanīus - Ut Odore Falernum
Our last day of Latin IV, the teacher just let us do what we want, and that included turning on the radio. Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came on, and it felt quite an appropriate moment for that song.
Finding this was quite a recollection of that. Very impressive, even just the contemporarily adaptive translation!

Oh man, marching in 6/4...

And getting their asses handed to them in the Teutoburg Forrest after giving away their location by singing... It all makes sense now.
