School songs...

I'm going to miss the old place. I already do. So I guess it's time to recall all the old songs. Let's begin.

Vivat Haileyburia!

In altera terra though we’re set,
Vivat Haileyburia!
The older school we’ll not forget
Vivat Haileyburia!
United still by crest and name, ‘
Lift up your hearts’
in song proclaim,
and show forth Haileyburia’s fame,
Vivat Haileyburia!

 

Then shout a thousand voices all,
Vivat Haileyburia!
Our Shool of old we now recall
Vivat Haileyburia!
But whatso’er their fame of youre,
We’ve yet a mind to make it more,
Our age of gold still lies before
Vivat Haileyburia!
Then Vivat, Vivat round the board,
Vivat Haileyburia!
And yet once more with louder chord,
Vivat Haileyburia!
For we’ve been boys and men together,
Have weilded bat and hunted leather,
When life was bliss in summer weather,
Vivat Haileyburia!

Then close your ranks and lift your song,
Vivat Haileyburia!
That life is short, but love is long;
Vivat Haileyburia!
And all through life, where’er we be,
School of our hearts we’ll think of thee,
And drink the toast with three times three,
Vivat Haileyburia!

Jerusalem

 

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

Gaudeamus Igitur

Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus.
Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus.
Post jucundam juventutem,
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.
Nos habebit humus.

Vivat Academia!
Vivant Professores!
Vivat Academia!
Vivant Professores!
Vivat membrum quodlibet
Vivant membra wuaelibet,
Semper sint in flore!
Semper sint in flore!

Felices discipuli
Haileyburienses
Audaces discupuli
Haileyburienses
Floreat pulcherrima
Domus celeberrima
Alma mater nostra
Altera in terra.
