The sweetest musical sound of all the ages is when the angel Gabriel sounds his trumpet at the end of time!

There is one song that fills my heart with the strength
of a lion whenever I hear it.

  Gaudeamus Igitur

Brahms - Academic Festival Overture, OP 80

Gaudeamus Igitur is regarded as the oldest student song, based on a latin manuscript of 1287. The oldest known version of the Latin words is in a handwritten student song book dated between 1723 and 1750, but the modern version of the words seems to date from 1781 and the music from 1794. The music is best knows, however, from its use by Johannes Brahms in his Academic Festival Overture (Opus 80) composed in 1880. The overture is a medley of student songs whose climax is a majestic rendition of Gaudeamus Igitur. It is used in countless graduation ceremonies throughout the world and particularly in Europe. It is sung in keeping with an academic tradition of at least 900 years which began with the foundation of the University of Bologna, the Alma Mater of European universities.

It was used in the film "A Song Is Born" (1948) and the
music from Brahms - Academic Festival Overture, OP 80
was used in the film "People Will Talk " (1951).

Gaudeamus Igitur - English Translation

Note also that Latin has a different syntax to English, and so some of the translation is not strictly line-for-line.

Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus;
Post icundum iuventutem,
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.
Let us therefore rejoice,
While we are young;
After our youth,
After a troublesome old age
The ground will hold us.
Vita nostra brevis est,
Brevi finietur;
Venit mors velociter,
Rapit nos atrociter;
Nemini parcetur.
Our life is brief,
It will shortly end;
Death comes quickly,
Cruelly snatches us;
No-one is spared.
