De clunibus magnis amandis oratio
Mixaloti equitis

mehercle!
(By Hercules!)
Rebecca, ecce! tantae clunes isti sunt!
(Rebecca, behold! Such large buttocks she has!)

amica esse videtur istorum hominum rhythmicorum.
(She appears to be a girlfriend of one of those rhythmic-oration people.)
sed, ut scis,
(But, as you know)
quis homines huiusmodi intellegere potest?
(Who can understand persons of this sort?)
colloquuntur equidem cum ista eo tantum, quod scortum perfectum esse videtur.
(Verily, they converse with her for this reason only, namely, that she appears to be a complete whore.)
clunes, aio, maiores esse!
(Her buttocks, I say, are rather large!)
nec possum credere quam rotondae sint.
(Nor am I able to believe how round they are.)
en! quam exstant! nonne piget te earum?
(Lo! How they stand forth! Do they not disgust you?)
ecce mulier Aethiops!
(Behold the black woman!)

magnae clunes mihi placent, nec possum de hac re mentiri.
(Large buttocks are pleasing to me, nor am I able to lie concerning this matter.)
quis enim, consortes mei, non fateatur,
(For who, colleagues, would not admit,)
cum puella incedit minore medio corpore
(Whenever a girl comes by with a rather small middle part of the body)
sub quo manifestus globus, inflammare animos
(Beneath which is an obvious spherical mass, that it inflames the spirits)... (more at link above)

Original "Baby Got Back" lyrics

[Yudan]

You guys are not going to believe this. "Baby Got Back" in LATIN.

"She appears to be the girlfriend of one of those rythmic-oration people."

[Darksheare]

The song "Baby's got back" in latin...

[wardaddy]

I know....that got me too.

[Mr. Thorne]

bump!

[cyborg]

I know you a man of many intellectual pursuits... what say you about this new translation?

[wardaddy]

It's funny...if it were in Portugese or Spanish, I could understand it.

translated...it's a bit stilted don't ya think?

[cyborg]

Pretty much... boy I remember looooooving this song when it first came out. AND... Sir Mix-A-Lot is actually a pretty accomplished music producer.

[Nebr FAL owner]

Somebody has entirely to much time on their hands & whoever they are they need somebody to tell them in no uncertain terms to get a life!

[dixiechick2000]

What a hoot! Thanks for the ping.

So this is the kind of thread that will get you to talk to us, huh? lol

How are things with you?
Have you moved, yet?

[AnAmericanMother]

Mehercle!

<< snort - snicker - howl - ROFLMAO . . . >>

[Yudan]

No prescription like laughter. No haven't moved yet.

[Pyro7480]

A second "just damn" called for here (post #41) ;-)

[Vigilantcitizen]

Habent amicae vestrae magnas clunes? (certe habent!)

Has anybody pinged Laz to this thread regarding my favorite part of the female anatomy.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Snicker....I can't believe you're on this thread, neighbor. :)

"Amica esse videtur istorum hominum rhythmicorum.."

[rmlew]

Did somebody steal my 8th grade Latin notebook?!

[netmilsmom]

Do you think it would be inappropriate to ping 4mycountry? She has learned Latin. ;-).

(then again my five year old is learning it too!)
