Is that... latin?

Unread postby Vaergoth » 10 Mar 2008, 18:15

Can someone translate the Haven town music? The only words I know are "Lacrimosa Deus (Dias?), Dias Irae", which I believe translates (very, very) roughly into "Mourn", "God" and "Day of Anger".

Or is it just random latin, to sound cool?

Well, let's see... there's the main theme, going, as you said. I think it's from "Libera me".

"Dies irae, dies illa, calamitatis et miseriae"
This is the day of wrath, of calamity and desolation

"Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, dona eis Domine"
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, grant unto them O Lord

Then there's the "Requiem" theme:

"Lacrimosa dies illa, qua resurget ex favilla, judicanus homo reus".
Mournful that day, when from the dust shall rise, guilty man to be judged.

Well the quieter portion in the beginning fits the line from Requiem perfectly, however, it may be the trumpets blasting over the choir but the section that starts at 0:50 doesn't seem to fit either of the others.

I like that music a lot (all hail the (Rob) King); the Latin fits quite nicely with the "holyness" theme.

There is an english version of the song and goes like this:

"Long ago there were heroes, heroes everywhere,
Now the time has come to rise again,
Heroes everywhere,here again.
Once upon a time there were heroes, heroes everywhere,
Now the time has come to rise again,
Heroes everywhere, here again."



You can listen to english version here:

This version was intended to be in game and could be understood as hidden theme about the heroes series. "There were 3do heroes, now its time to rise again :P".
However, they changed to latin during BETA.

It's a song about the Heroes Chronicles filling up your local store's bargain bin. :D

The Necro beta music is better imo

However the Haven one in english is worse, as the lyrics are not that smart.

Someone should mod the necro beta theme so it replaces the one we have now, cause its sounds somewhat better.
