Gaudeamus igitur Juvenes dum sumus. Post jucundam juventutem Post molestam senectutem Nos habebit humus.	Let us rejoice therefore While we are young. After a pleasant youth After a troubling old age The earth will have us.	Kætumst meðan kostur er, knárra sveina flokkur. Æskan líður ung og fjörleg. Ellin bíður þung og hrörleg. Moldin eignast okkur.
Ubi sunt qui ante nos In mundo fuere? Vadite ad superos Transite in inferos Hos si vis videre.	Where are [they] who before us Were in the world? Go to the heavens Cross over into hell If you wish to see them.
Vita nostra brevis est Brevi finietur. Venit mors velociter Rapit nos atrociter Nemini parcetur.	Our life is brief Soon it will end. Death comes quickly Snatches us cruelly It spares no one.
Vivat academia! Vivant professores! Vivat membrum quodlibet Vivant membra quaelibet Semper sint in flore.	Long live the academy! Long live the professors ! Long live each student! Long live all students! May they always be in their prime!
Vivant omnes virgines Faciles, formosae. Vivant et mulieres Tenerae amabiles Bonae laboriosae.	Long live all girls Easy and beautiful! Long live mature women also, Tender and lovable Good [and] productive.
Vivat et respublica et qui illam regit. Vivat nostra civitas, Maecenatum caritas Quae nos hic protegit.	Long live the state as well And he who rules it! Long live our city [And] the charity of benefactors Which protects us here!
Pereat tristitia, Pereant osores. Pereat diabolus, Quivis antiburschius Atque irrisores.	Let sadness perish! Let haters perish! Let the devil perish! Let whoever is anti-student As well as the mockers!
Quis confluxus hodie Academicorum? E longinquo convenerunt, Protinusque successerunt In commune forum.	Why today such a multitude Of scholars? Despite distance, despite weather, They have gathered here together For Philology's sake!
Vivat nostra societas, Vivant studiosi; Crescat una veritas Floreat fraternitas Patriae prosperitas.	Long live our society, Long live the scholars; May one truth grow May the brotherhood flourish [And] fatherland's prosperity.
Alma Mater floreat, Quae nos educavit; Caros et commilitones, Dissitas in regiones Sparsos, congregavit	May our Alma Mater thrive, Which has educated us; Friends and colleagues, where'er they are, Whether near or from afar, Heed her invitation.
