Paradisus
Lesiëm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mundus paradisiacus o paradisus.
In caritate servire o mi caritas.
In camera caritatis. Tempi passati.
O inter arma caritas. Tempi passati.
Sic e unt fata hominum. Deo volente.
O devotio moderna. Diem perdidi.
In caritate servire. Deo volente.
Mundus paradisiacus.
O paradisus.




In paradiso.

Overall Meaning

In Lesiem's song Paradisus, the lyrics are in Latin and seem to present a combination of different phrases and ideas that revolve around love, devotion, and the idealization of paradise. The opening line, 'Mundus paradisiacus o paradisus' can be translated to 'Paradisical world, oh paradise.' This line sets the tone for the rest of the song and implies that the lyrics will be focused on a paradise-like place or state of being.


The second line, 'In caritate servire o mi caritas,' means 'In charity to serve, oh my love.' This line is interesting because it suggests that one can only find love and happiness through selfless service to others. The next lines, 'In camera caritatis. Tempi passati. O inter arma caritas. Tempi passati,' translate to 'In the chamber of charity. Times past. Oh love among the weapons. Times past.' These lines may be referring to a time where love and charity were more valued and prevalent in society than they are now.


The song continues with lines like 'Sic e unt fata hominum. Deo volente,' which can be translated to, 'Thus are the fates of men. God willing.' This line suggests that life is unpredictable and that everything is according to God's will. The lyrics also mention the idea of lost time, with 'O devotio moderna. Diem perdidi,' meaning 'Oh modern devotion. I have lost the day.' This line suggests that the modern world is lacking in true devotion and that time is being wasted on things that don't matter. The song ends with the same phrase it began with, 'In paradiso' meaning 'In paradise.'
