Partus
sToa Lyrics

In sToa's song "Partus," the above lyrics are sung in Latin. Through these lyrics, the band depicts the passage of time, specifically highlighting age as a factor. The first line translates to "Thus, in the springtime of human life, youth blossoms a little." The use of the word "springtime" evokes the image of new beginnings and growth, while "youth" highlights the time in one's life where they are at their best physical state. The use of the phrase "blossoms a little" implies that youth is fleeting and temporary.

The second line furthers the idea of the passage of time, with "first light of morning" being likened to the beginning of one's younger years. This is followed by "Reflorescit paululum," which means "Blooms a little again." This phrase seems to depict the idea of second chances, of youth being renewed for a brief moment.

In the final two lines, the progression of time is seen in the words "Vitae vesper, dumb concludit / Vitale crepusculum," which roughly translates to "Evening ends life, morning limits life." This line is a somber reminder that all things must come to an end, and that youth must be cherished while it lasts.
