We should live, my Lesbia, and love
And value all the talk of stricter
Old men at a single penny.
Suns can set and rise again;
For us, once our brief light has set,
There's one unending night for sleeping.
Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred,
Then another thousand, then a second hundred,
Then still another thousand, then a hundred;
Then, when we've made many thousands,
We'll muddle them so as not to know
Or lest some villain overlook us
Knowing the total of our kisses.
(Translated by Guy Lee)

Driven across many nations, across many oceans
I am here, my brother, for this final parting,
to offer at last those gifts which the dead are given
and to speak in vain to your unspeaking ashes,
since bitter fortune forbids you to hear me or answer,
O my wretched brother, so abruptly taken!
But now I must celebrate grief with funeral tributes
offered the dead in the ancient way of the fathers;
accept these presents, wet with my brotherly tears, and
now and forever, my brother, hail and farewell.
Już wiosna z ciepłym powraca powiewem,
Już marcowego nieba i mórz gniewy
Wesoły Zefir koi pieszczotami.
Wnet ziemie Frygii zostaną za nami,
Katullu, pola Nicei uprawne -
Polećmy do miast azjatyckich sławnych!
Już do włóczęgi myśl zrywa się lotem,
Nogi się prężą z radosnej ochoty.
A więc żegnajcie, towarzysze mili!
W podróż daleką wspólnieśmy ruszyli,
Różnymi szlaki wrócimy z powrotem.
Atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale.
CatullusI hate
CatullusQui nunc it per iter tenebricosum illuc, unde negant redire quemquam.
Ahora él va por camino tenebroso allí, donde niegan volver a nadie.

Iucundum, mea vita, mihi proponis amorem
hunc nostrum inter nos perpetuumque fore.
Di magni, facite ut uere promittere possit,
atque id sincere dicat et ex animo,
ut liceat nobit tota perducere vita
aeternum hoc sanctae foedus amicitiae.
