Requiem Pro Socco Perdito
(Requiem for a Lost Sock)

Ubi nunc es?
(Where are you now?)

O socce, ubi es?
(O sock, where are you?)

Ubi nunc es? O socce, ubi es?
(Where are you now? O sock, where are you?)

Olim amicus fidelis fuisti
(You were once a faithful friend)

Nunc absens es sine vestigio
(Now you are gone without a trace)

Cur abiisti? Cur discessisti?
(Why did you go away? Why did you leave?)

Aliqua tragica fortuna te accidisse debet
(Some tragic fate must have befallen you)

Certe enim non sponte tua discessisses
(For surely you would not have left on your own accord)

Soccum meum perdidi!
(I've lost my sock!)

Requiesce in pace, o socce!
(Rest in peace, o sock!)

Requiesce in pace, socce!
(Rest in peace, sock!)

Etsi odorem tuum non semper icundum erat
(Although your odour was not always pleasant)

Calor amplexus tui verus erat
(The warmth of your embrace was real)

O socce, ubi es?
(O sock, where are you?)

Ubi nunc es?
(Where are you now?)

Soccum meum
(My sock)

Soccum meum perdidi!
(I lost my sock!)

In memoriis vives.
(You will live in memories)

Quamquam socci tantum mortales sunt tua foetor in aeternum vivit
(Although socks are only mortal, your stench lives on forever)

In memoriis vives
(You will live in memories)
