"Something really bizarre: a newly written Latin text in hexameters, set to music as a Portuguese Fado. It is about different uses of wisdom. From the album [http://songs.dalitio.de/cd/ "Wo kann die Nachtigall noch singen"]."

¶Lyrics / Text

O sapiéntia dáta mortálibus áb Apollóne, Ut veritátem exquírant assídue púra cordéque, Et ut invéniant ártes, quae frátris misériam lévent, Técta paupéribus párent, deósque per músicam cólant. O sapiéntia sérva poténtium cónsiliórum, Ut veritátem abscóndant dolóse fingéntibus vérbis, Et ut invéniant ártes, quae éminus hómines cáedant, Etiam ínopem prívent, et fáciant térram desértam. Vére fortásse dicébat, de quó vetus fábula nárrat, Spíritu páuperes éum in mónte vocáre beátos.
