Song of the Praetorians

Tibi fidēlitātem jūrāmus,

Sumus tuī humilēs servī,

Et vīta nostra tibi pertinet,

Hostēs tuī corruent,

Nam gladiī nostrī ac scūta validī sunt, Memineris, Imperātor,

Sumus tuum scūtum,

Tuās pugnās gerimus, tē victōriam efficimus,

Nōn est Imperātor sine nōbis,

Haec numquam oblivīscāris, ō Caesar,

Clāmās fortiter,

Nōlī oblivīscī qui tē in sōlium posuerit,

Memineris, vīta tua nōbis pertinet,

Jacē super pavīmentum marmoreum, Caesar,

Nōn amplius purpureum indue,

Et marmoreum candidum in rubrum convertistī

Translation

We pledge loyalty to you,

We are your humble servants,

And our lives belong to you,

Your enemies, they flee,

For our swords are sharp, our shields strong,

Remember, Emperor,

We are your shield,

We fight your wars, we make you victorious,

There is no Emperor without us,

Never forget this, oh Caesar,

You speak loudly Caesar, you are arrogant,

Do not forget who placed you on the throne,

Remember, your life belongs to us,

Lie on the marble floor, Caesar,

You wear purple no longer,

And vou have turned the white marble red.
