Incipite parvuli

Procedant menses magni

The lyrics of Lorne Balfe's song "His Dark Materials" are in Latin and open with the phrase "Susurros immortales," which translates to "immortal whispers." This line could be referring to the mystical or supernatural elements present within the world of His Dark Materials. The next line, "Audiunt haruspices," translates to "the soothsayers listen." This line seems to suggest that there are individuals within the world of the song who are able to perceive and interpret these whispers.
The next two lines are "Incipite parvuli/Incipite parvuli," which translate to "begin, little ones/begin, little ones." This line may be a call to action or a message of encouragement to the characters within the story. The following line, "Procedant menses magni," translates to "proceed with great months." This line could signify a sense of forward momentum, or perhaps even a warning of significant events to come.
Overall, it's difficult to fully interpret the meaning behind these lyrics without understanding more about the story of His Dark Materials. However, the Latin language and mystical phrases used in the lyrics give the sense of a grand, otherworldly tale.
