Watermark (With Translation)
Cursum Perficio
Cursum perficio. I am making an end to my course.
Verbum sapienti: A word to the wise:
quo plus habentthe more [people] have
eo plus cupiunt. the more they want.
Post nubilaPhoebus After the cloudsPhoebus (1)
Iternum Over and over again (2)
Phoebus was one of the names for the Sun god
which may be more famous as Apollo (Greek).
It is notable that the Sun is a male.
The word iternum does not exist;
it could either be a misspelling for eternum (eternal)
which is unlikely since it is very rare that an adjective
be used as an adverbor for iterum (again and again)
which is in fact an adverb and makes a little more sense (!!).
The meaning of cursum perficio is actually best explained
by the footnote to the lyrics:
Enya was inspired by these words she saw on Marylin Monroe s
last housewhere they were taken to mean "my journey ends here".
It is a rather "free" translationbut it s probably a very good
way to convey the meaning of Latinwhich has a way of saying
things that is very distant from modern-day English.
The fact that those words turned out to be prophetical only
adds to the power of the song.
