GAUDEAMUS IGITUR-The Official FISU Anthem
Gaudeamus Igitur is an ancient student song from the middle 18th century. Unfortunately neither the exact origin nor the name of the compositor are known.We presume the music was written by Johannes Christian Grünthaus in 1717 and rewritten by Christian Nilh Kindleben in 1781.Even Johannes Brahms ( 1833 – 1897 ) made use of the Gaudeamus Igitur in his ‘Academic Festival’ ouverture opus 80.The words from Pros 2 and 3 have a strong ancient religious sense and we set them in the 13th century.Pros 2 was then used in a student song in the early 18th century and used again in the Jenenserblatt.Gaudeamus Igitur replaces the national anthems at the medal-awarding ceremonies of the Universiades and World University Championships.
GAUDEAMUS IGITUR (lyric)
1. Gaudeamus igitur, juvenes dum sumus (bis)Post jucundam juventutemPost molestam senectutemNos habebit humus (bis)
2. Ubi sunt qui ante nos, in mundo fuere (bis)Vadite ad superos,Transite ad inferos,Ubi iam fuere (bis)
3. Vita nostra brevis est brevi finietur (bis)Venit mors velociter,Rapit nos atrociter,Nemini parcetur (bis)
4. Vivat Acedémia,vivant Professores (bis)Vivat membrum quodlibet,Vivant membra quaelibet,Semper sint in flore ! (bis)
5. Vivant omnes virgines, faciles, formosae (bis)Vivant et mulieres,Tenerae, amabiles,Bonae, laboriosae ! (bis)
6. Vivat et respublica et qui illam regit (bis)Vivat nostra civitas,Maecenatum caritas,Quae nos hic protegit (bis)
7. Pereat tristitia, pereant osores (bis)Pereat diabolus,Patriae maledictus,Nec non irrisores ! (bis)
