Pura Vida, a requiem by Steve Kloser

Principium

Female:
Venit. Veni ad me, veni ad me.
Venit. Te expecto, te expecto.

Mecum, veni ad me, veni ad me.
Te expecto, te expecto, veni ad me.

Masculum:
Nato. Ego natare, ego natare.
Nato, nescio cur, nescio cur.

Ego sum natantes, sum natantes.
Cum me natare multis fratibus.
Cum me multis fratibus.
Nato cum me multis fratibus,
multis fratibus, multis fratibus.

Necesse est ut ibi.
Et non tardabit,
et non tardabit et non tardabit, tardabit.
Oportet venire.
Nescio cur! nescio cur!
Nescio cur ego sum natantes.

Simul:
Mira, miraculum, miraculum.
Et nos uno sumus, Uno sumus.
Vita, donum vitae, donum vitae, donum vitae;
Pretiosum non quaestiones, gratis perinde.
MIraculum! Ego sum.

The Beginning

Female:
Come. Come to me, come to me.
Come. I am waiting for you, waiting for you.

Be with me, come to me, come to me.
I am waiting, I am waiting, come to me.

Male:
I am swimming. I am swimming. I am swimming.
I am swimming. I do not know why! I do not know why!

I swim with, I swim with,
I swim with many brothers.
I swim with many brothers.
I swim and swimming with me are many brothers,
many brothers, many brothers.

We must get there.
We must not delay,
we must not delay, we must not delay.
We must arrive.
I do not know why! I do not know why!
I do not know why we are swimming.

Together:
Look! A miracle. A miracle.
We are one. We are one.
Life is a gift. Life is a gift. Life is a gift;
The most precious gift.
It’s a miracle! I am.

Escape

Special day! I can feel it.
There's a buzz in the womb!
I'm not sure what's going on, but it's hap'nin' soon.

She keeps squishing and twisting - maybe she had a bad clam.
Either way when this is done, I won't be where I am. Oh no.

It's so cozy right here on my back, I'm not eager to leave.
Maybe if I lay off kicking her bladder, she'll let me lie here in peace.

It's today I can feel it. and it's happening now.
Here I come! Look out world!

La Vida

La vida es una oportunidad,
aprovechala, aprovechala.
La vida es belesa, admirala.
Es gloriosa! Cuidala. Cuidala tu la vida.

La vida, es un deber, cumplelo,
un juego, juegalo, un himno, cantalo.
La vida es un misterio,
desvelalo, afrontalo. Saboreala,
la vida.

Ser feliz no es tener una vida;
una vida perfecta.
Reconocer que la vida
es un regalo muy precioso.

La vida; such beauty ev'rywhere,
a chance for you to care,
a gift to have and share.
La vida is an opportunity.
Be the you that you were meant to be!
Let you dream be la vida.

La Vida (Life)

Life is an opportunity,
take advantage of it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
It is glorious! Take care of your life.

Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is mystery,
know it; confront it; savor it.

To be happy you don’t need to have
a perfect life;
Just know that life
is the most precious gift

Requiem

Ev'ry day of my life I have known you love me.
Ev'ry day of my life I knew you were there.
From the day I was born 'til this very moment
you have opened your heart; lots of love to share.

Always nice to us when we were kids.
Never worried you would shout or hit.

Ev'ry day of my life I have known you love me
Ev'ry day of my life I knew that you care.
I know you're still there.
So much love to share.

My life has been so blessed to have had an aunt like you.
For now, while we're apart, I will keep you with me in my heart.

Vade. Vade in pacem, vade in pacem. [ Go, go in peace. ]
Requiem et tibi pax, et tibi pax. [ Rest in peace. ]
Spiritus tuus vivit, tuus vivit, tuus vivit [ Your spirit lives on ]
in nobis, in nobis, in nobis. [ in us.]

Ev'ry day from now on I will know you love me,
and I hope that you how much I love you.
Rest in peace everlasting; you have done your share.
Ev’ry day from now I will know you care.
I know you're still there.
